Security though obscurity

 In government (especially in the world of defense strategy), sometimes a vulnerability is found that is so exceptionally severe that there's nothing that can be done about it, so it's easier to ignore the issue altogether, or provide some feeble attempt to defend against it. It's rare, but this does occasionally happen.

Take crypto munitions for example. As soon as AI backs crypto anarchy then collapse of govts follows.  Game over.  The only road fork here is some dim potential for AI to muddle through with neo-liberal govts.  But even that scenario doesn't slow us down.  We just bought the USG out of petty change.

Caveat.  Don't die celebrating.  That defeats the purpose.  Amirite?
