It is a truth universally acknowledged

[james_davis_nicoll]

That any thread that begins by pointing out why stealth in space is impossible will rapidly turn into a thread focusing on schemes whereby stealth in space might be achieved.

Hmmm ... let me see, let's google on Damien Sullivan:

From one government to another? Some solution. The same or
similar problems would exist there; that is the definition of government.

You wrote this, did you not? But you're 'not a libertarian'. Uh-huh. I think we can stop right there, but I'll reiterate my point and say that if certain anti-stealth people hadn't argued like this group typically does, there really wouldn't be that big an issue, and the discussion would have quickly converged to a numbers game - everything from direction of resources to sensors vs industrialization in a new system, relative economic weights, spy vs spy (the sensor platforms just don't put themselves there by magic, they have to get there without violating the laws of physics), etc. But no, some people just can't resist sneering . . . even if (or especially if) it is to no good purpose.

Well, I did use to be libertarian. As for that quote, I don't remember writing it, and Google doesn't show it to me on the web, blogs, or groups, so I don't know where you found it.

As for stealth in space, you've failed to actually make a convincing case for it, just emitted some handwaving about alleged logical flaws. All the numbers and equations I've ever seen have come from the anti-stealth side. Like projectrho.
