The current crop of deployed anti-missiles, and those projected for the near future are 50% effective, even under prepared and forewarned test conditions.
I am not ready to protect my home with a security system that alarms 50% of the time, nor a weapon that fires 50% of the time I pull the trigger, and being that you are a smart FReeper, I doubt you are either.
Be well.
I understand you wish to end the dialogue.
Let me just say in parting that ABM is a difficult technological task and 50%, while not great, is better than 0%, which is what we would have now if we had never tried.
Thank you for the opportunity to exchange views.
