I've... learned that it's a hell of a lot easier to just build something than to try to convince somebody who doesn't believe it's possible.

No one is ever as shocked and surprised as when the inevitable occurs.

We will soon be living in an era in which we cannot guarantee survivability of any single point. However, we can still design systems in which system destruction requires the enemy to pay the price of destroying n of n stations. If n is made sufficiently large, it can be shown that highly survivable system structures can be built.
