the dumb thing about this (that I wish this article had more explicitly spelled out) is the main reason to hold a hard line on resuming testing is the US has a massive lead over everyone else in terms of knowledge, so any resumption of testing would only serve to erode that lead

Henry Kissinger & Dick Garwin were debating missile defense. Garwin argued deploying a system was ineffective (it won't work) & dangerous (as adversaries will respond). Kissinger said it's impossible for it to be both. Garwin said "imagine you buy a squirt gun and charge a policy officer."
