Phlebotinum Analogy/Quotes

This is like saying that history has shown the best defense against heavy cavalry are pikemen, so aircraft should mount lances on their noses and fly in tight squares to fend off bombers. There is no historical form of combat that is analogous to space combat. The closest I can think of is submarine vs. submarine warfare and 1) unlike underwater, there is no stealth in space, and 2) submarines don't attack each other by launching one-man minisubs.
