Very true. OTOH, stealth reduces detection range and the ability to track so that a stealth aircraft (and I use this as a relative term) can exploit the gaps in a radar chain.

Radar is like a flashlight in a field. You can see the flashlight coming long before it can zero in on you. Standoff HARMs mean never having to say “oops”!
