The trouble is that by the time you find that out it's too late. Indeed we may never find out.

I'm okay with not ever needing to find out :-) I think there is a Sun Tzu saying about not fighting a war is the best way to win it. But yeah, it would be disappointing to need it and have it not meet expectations. That is always true of course.

I believe the last time that happened was with the F-111.
