No one is missing the subtle things that are good at all. What you and some pointy headed elites are doing is trying to make yourself look too smart by half by ignoring the camels while straining the gnats. The subtle things could have been done PLUS the sledge hammer removed.
Sometimes things are just what they seem, and we do not need verification from those who are too cutesy in their analysis.
I would remind you of what Yamamoto said after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
