Just to demonstrate that last point more:

Hard-kill active protection systems more reasonably justify the concept of "ablative armor" in that your "armor" becomes "penetrated" as soon as you expend all your anti-missile countermeasures.

You can also delve into the details of your rate of deploying countermeasures vs. the rate of attacks invading your space.
