Hug trees at 1000 meters in high wind!

Rating stupidity in arms development

How to, with a nod and a wink, rate the stupidity of a weapon idea:

1) Promises a “revolution in warfare.”

Add 50 points. Add 25 points for claims of a “new arms race.” Add 5 points for each time any derivative of the word “transformation” is used in promotional materials describing the weapon.

Et cetera. Very funny stuff. And trust me, if you study this industry continuously you're going to need it.

Alan Moore: Iain Sinclair does that to me, inspire me to envy and despair.

It happens to everyone, i guess. :)
