Why does the government not just say that? Hey, our instruments are having errors/artifacts and we want to fix it AND also dismiss any suggestion of alien craft --but, no, they go along with the most unlikely scenario. Are they looking to look stupid?
- kube-system 3y agoBecause it would be dumb to publicly acknowledge any specifics of their weaknesses to their enemies. It's not the military's job to placate conspiracy theorists. It's their job to counter foreign threats.
- mc32 3y agoThey don't have to make any of it public. It was never public till they decided that they wanted to inject aliens into their strategy. Now, the Chinese communists and the Russian Oligarchs both still know our instruments suck, except they attributed to aliens.
- kube-system 3y ago> Now, the Chinese communists and the Russian Oligarchs both still know our instruments suck There is no strategic or actionable value in a broad judgement of "sucks" or "doesn't suck". The point of keeping details secret is to prevent someone from building mechanisms to specifically counter it. Information disparity in war is an advantage because it can cause an enemy to misjudge their allocation of resources. (either they underestimate and are out-powered, or they overestimate and waste resources) It's like poker. You might choose to selectively give off some information with your expressions, but you'd easily lose if you showed your cards. > they decided that they wanted to inject aliens into their strategy. The US military has not entertained the idea of aliens.
