I think he also forgot that you can even program one to make a big loop out to sea and come back at the target from the seaward side, thus rendering the decoy useless.

Actually, I doubt that he ever knew that.

The Harpoon is particularly nasty. If it is headed for a target at 20 miles, and you are at 15 miles and try to jam it, it will remember you. If it can't find the ship at 20 miles, it will turn around, come back, and slam you in the #$%. Some missile engineer with a really sick sense of humor thought that one up. LOL.
