And the computer has to decide which of the lot which assets it has the computational assets to track and of which it actually gives some consideration which is worth vectoring friendly units toward. And it cannot see what the ship is carrying anymore then I can see the suicide vest because it is in the hold.
And I can see more or less every schooner on the portion of the Grand Banks covered by my spy glass and I still cannot tell which is a fisherman and which a rum runner with my spy glass and still must use Intelligence Analysis.
