    I disagree that it's a failed analogy _all around_, because
    the e-version can still attack only one target at a time,
    it's just much more efficient than a bear.

    I won't touch the _hard target_ comment. :)

    It's a failed analogy all around, though. In the case of bear vs.
    runner,
    one bear can only maul one runner at one time. I've got screens and
    screens
    worth of alert data that show that a single e-bear can chase and maul
    thousands of runners at the same time.

    As far as making my network a "hard target" in the military sense
    (Google
    for "hard target interdiction" or HTI), no thank you. :)
