Simple - there was an insane arms race, led by people who wanted a huge
advantage over the rest of the field, and that led, inevitably, as you
could have guessed beforehand, to some of the rest of the field
obtaining kit that, while it was still nowhere near the nuclear weapons
of the opponents, at least added a little in compensation.

Since neither you nor Bob have responded to my suggestion that you limit
at the 500 alphas, and don't use the 767's - I assume that you'll use
the 767's if you can. Your argument that you are just trying to 'stay
competitive' is shown for what is truly is: an attempt to get well ahead
of the rest of the field.
