...I explained that in order for the navigation system in guided missiles to function properly and operate the fin control surfaces correctly, the missile CAN’T be spinning.

I posted the following to Ronald_Magnus before. No response then so I guess he had no answer for it.

Title : Stability of Spinning ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) in First Stage Boost Phase.

Corporate Author : AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Abstract : A computer program is developed to model a spinning intercontinental Ballistic Missile (IICBM) during the first stage boost phase. The equations of motion are derived and presented and a full rotation matrix is used to show the relationship between a launch-centered, nonrotating earth inertial reference frame and the missile body reference frame.

And your article was shown to be only a master's thesis -- which described the undesirable and deleterious effects that a missile in a mechanical spiral has on guidance systems.

IOW, the example cited advocated the opposite of your claims for it.
