Let's get this clear: We find that carbon nanotubes can be made into infinitely capable Super-RAM, light, thin and broadband. So the first thing we do, of course, is.... publish the whole damn thing on the monkey-fighting Internetz?

Needless to say the fans have had this incongruity pointed out to them before, and then they go and parrot it elsewhere.

CM - Very true, so much so that people have been fired for pointing it out. First-look, first-shot only works if the first shot works, so if your adversary concedes the first look, but denies you a high-Pk first shot outside mutual detection range, the value of first-look is much reduced.

Running in unseen and taking the first shot, but using all your shots to kill only a fraction of the adversaries, then finding yourself kinematically unable to avoid the WVR against faster, more agile and still lethal survivors, sounds like a classic "I'm not sure you thought your brilliant plan all the way through" move.
