"The resulting deduced track-plot of "debris" might be totally skewed
by invalid data. And so the end result of any multi-radar correlated
plot might be so much wishful thinking (or at best, the best guess,
and possibly useless for any meaningful deductions)."
UNCTUOUS, that was my point. The ASC called the reverse direction
track "puzzling" for good reason. Until it is understood it can't
really be used to support any particular theory. A long time ago
I worked on radar problems that involved deliberately introduced
"debris." Balancing the two possible errors of a statistical
decision algorithm (false positives and false negatives) is an
especially tricky problem in this setting.
