Skin-to-skin kill with zero CEP is very nice. As for the marginal overall success ratio, that is not unusual in program development. What matters is the success ratio once the bugs are worked out. Even the Trident D-5 was not perfect at first. Engineering changes tend to reduce or eliminate failure modes over time.

North Korea will never be able to afford a flood of missiles. Do they really want to risk launching two or even ten missiles at the USA, knowing that between their failures and our defenses they might score no hits at all?
