Sometimes you get me so pissed at people from Australia that I may stop using Aussie hairspray. I really would but I am addicted to the grape smell.
Re-read your post in reference to the two quotes.
I stated the possible source for the lie bit and I stated that I am in the process of verifying the story and the source.
Regarding the bit about design invulnerability and how the design-evolved relative to ballistic tolerance I reiterated my statement and I also added a bit I gleaned from the Internet. An Australian engineer who visited the Boeing facility in Arizona authored the report it came from. I assume the report was used to justify the purchase of the Apache by the Australian MOD.
