I still trust her word on the matter over yours.
You also have continuously attempted to duck and weave around the whole issue that even fi we grant these bolts were from the hiveship, how have you proven that they represent the maximum threshhold of it's firepower.
Given the various conflicting evidence about the power of some hiveship blasts in one episode vs another why are you so resistant to the idea that a massive 11km ship that is thousands of years old might have more than one size or type of weapon. You seem to want to persist in this idea even though several people have already posted multiple pictures showing you both different sizes of bolt and different sizes of explosion made by bolts.
Is there's any reason why it shouldn't be?
Realistically, air is almost never "perfectly clear." For instance, just look at those commercials they do for air filters, where they show the amount of dust that people inhale every day.
So a thousand tons of TNT = a few hand grenades?
Circular reasoning. The idea that the Mark III are gigaton levels is supposed to be your conclusion. The above phrase assumes it as your premise to lead to your conclusion.
Done so numerous times. Wasted ordinance (Stated in Siege), combined with international oversight (Shown in Scourge, Disclosure, Misbogetton, etc.) and the fact that other countries that currently help fund SGC and SGA (Origin) are weary about giving a US too much military power (Scourge, Disclosure), particularily on a ship where the captain doesn't have to answer to them (Misbegotten.). Why woud they help fund a program that gave a US owned ship the power to essentially devestate entire planets from space?
Also Dr. Weir's treaty negotiation about non proliferation of nuclear arms dealt with the possible future pressence of such weapons in Africa. I don't know how you've gone on to assume that it would have anything what so ever to do with what the US airforce decided to do with their top secret project in the Pegasus galaxy. We're a few million lightyears out of jurisdiction here.
37 years ago, we had people walking on the moon. I guess it's outlandish to think that with all the progress we made, we wouldn't already have moon colonies up there by now, if not colonies on Mars.
There's a difference between having the technology to do something, and the will, drive, necessity. Especially with the international community scrutinizes your every move.
See above about will, desire, and necessity.
