“This exercise will evaluate the full spectrum of F-35B measures of suitability and effectiveness to the maximum extent possible."

This sentence appears to be internally contradictory, at once saying the exercise "will evaluate the full spectrum" but then qualifying "full" with "to the maximum extent possible".

This is like telling you that you can drive off with any car in the Porsche showroom as long as it doesn't cost more than $5,000.

I predict that the test will fully accomplish its goal, which will be to generate >3 concurrent sorties on one day for an audience of media and Congressional people. This should be doable with a half-dozen jets picked from a designated group of cherry-picked, fresh-off-the-mod-line aircraft.
