You have nailed it.
This reminds me of a speech made by a history prof. at a local college during the heyday of the Cold War.
He said our town (Winston-Salem, NC) was at special risk from a Russian nuke.
The reason: We were ground zero for cigarette production...If the Soviets knocked out the Winston, Camel, and Sir Walter Raleigh plants all the smokers would have nicotine fits and the U.S. would have to surrender.
The remarkable thing is that this nonsense was accepted as an important insight into Warsaw Pact strategy.
The real reason that Winston-Salem was so important is, of course, that is is the HQ of Krispy Kreme.
