So when the entire ship blows up in Siege Part I, obviously, there was something they missed.
Sure, if you rely entirely on circular reasoning.
There is nothing circular about thinking that the SGC would not drastically reduce shipboard warhead yields as their enemies got ever MORE powerful.
Do you seriously think it's logical that with all the advances constantly being made, and wanting to be made, to keep up with Earth's enemies, someone would suddenly jump up and say
"you know what we should do next guys, we should reduce our warhead firepower 1 million fold or more from what it was ten years ago, even though we now have beachball sized gigaton nukes".
You need to prove this ridiculous scenario is what has actually occured because the burden is most certainly NOT on me to prove that it didn't.
That were never sucessfully tested, as evident by season four. Or it was tested, only to fail.
Space mines 1200 megatons, Goa'uld busters 1000 megatons. They weren't just tested either, they were used in battle, and both of those are onscreen quoated yeild figures.
And why do you think that is?
The Antartic Treaty is the starting place for SGA, and it's the reason that SGA is an international effort.

Meeting in Washington, President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev agree that their START negotiators should build upon the areas of agreement in the joint draft START treaty text being developed in Geneva. These include:
A ceiling of 1,600 SNDVs with 6,000 warheads.
A ceiling of 1,540 warheads on 154 heavy missiles.
A 50 percent reduction in ballistic missile throw-weight.
So yes, the ceiling on warheads is different from the ceiling on heavy missiles. I know you'd like to believe that this came entirely out of my imagination, but my imagination isn't anywhere near strong enough for to influence internation military policy. And even if it was, hey, all the more reason to listen to me, right?
