I think you are wrong (and it is purely my opinion) simply because you don't really know what the the F-35 "modern combat" capability is or will be, neither does L-M, the US DoD or the JPO. All they know is what they hope and wish it will be. Don't rush to judgement, stay tuned for the next 4 years or so for actual capabilities, then you will "get" it...
