Exactly, M2. And that's where I see the behavior as trollish.
-Dramatic overstatement. NOTHING (anyone ought to know what capitals mean) beats the F-35 in A2G. Countering such screaming hyperbole factually takes time and effort.
- The "appeal to authority" fallacy. "I would assume the folks... are smart enough". Sure, these smart folks gave LockMart a contract for an airplane they couldn't build, for a budget they couldn't meet, on a schedule that was a joke.
- As you point out, "stellar" A2G? No HDTV sensor, no Rover, no moving-target weapon... Even in 3F.
Let's be real. The guy is here to derail the discussion, for whatever reason.
