I assume you're joking. Nevertheless, for missiles, it's more about detecting and correcting early when the error is still manageable. If you go at Mach something, a few meters off course can quickly become a few hundred.

Way to lose support from your own people.

I do see the point of the intention, but as far as I understand it, it never really worked for preventing that anyway.
