Kudos for admitting your mistake, Ace.
I'm not picking on you here just taking the opportunity to point out a textbook case of the conformation bias we all suffer from from time to time in your earlier reply that referenced my previous post in this thread. The article I quoted said the MOAB was designed as an air burst weapon for use against soft to medium surface targets. You immediately latched onto that statement in support of your position, and blew right by the very next sentence in my post that said the MOAB was optimized for use against targets in environments like caves. That's classic biased interpretation which is one of the three pillars of conformation bias. Those being biased search, biased interpretation and biased memory.
