1) Fair point

2) This is not a valid generalization and represents a leap of logic. I was talking specifically of assassinations.

Ok - re #2 - look at what % of political movements succeeded despite most of their leaders being killed. I'd say that since majority of political movements succeed with live leaders, it must mean that the ones whose leaders were killed in time, did not succeed.

It's like the WW2 story about looking for holes in returning fighter planes :)
