That's being picky over semantics. There are multiple possible universes where missiles have limited _practical_ ranges.

Also cases where beam weapons (such as very long range ones like X-ray lasers) can be used at ranges where missile launch will not be practical.

So no, your statement is not a universal truth when discussing practical combats.
