...complex electronic-mechanical system ever built, with all the fallability such complexity implies. The ABM's reliability could never be tested under conditions approximating those of a nuclear attack, simply because there is no way of simulating all the conditions of a nuclear attack. For example, a radar system control the trajectories of the ABMs. We know that radar is affected in strange ways by nuclear explosions, but that is all we know. To accurately test the effectiveness of the ABM's radar system under actual attack conditions, we would have to explode large nuclear weapons all over this continent...

Munro said. "I was somewhat disappointed. We did some things well, but we weren't as much in control as we should have been." The Crimson coach pointed out that lack of incentive against a weak opponent probably contributed a good deal to the less-than-inspiring Harvard performance...
