WAAS won’t help you when the GPS signal is being jammed. It’s ground-based navaids, pilotage, or stay home.

That's a non-sequitur. The person I was replying to said you always have to plan at least one airport with a non-GPS approach.

You’re right of course. I was addressing the larger question of the impact of GPS jamming tests on aviation in general. Less of a reply to you and more of a note to anyone else reading.
