[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] And, as per Liam's mention of the bad math, no matter how many shields you put up, they will [i]never[/i] add up to 100% effectiveness, if every one of them has less than 100% effectiveness by itself. If you have four 80% effective shields, and one missile is launched, here's what can happen: It hits the first shield. It has a 20% chance of getting through. It just happens to fall within that 20%, and it gets through. It hits the second shield. Same thing happens. It hits the third shield. Same result. It hits the fourth shield. No difference. It hits a major city and wipes out a shitload of people. Sure, there may only be a 0.16% chance of its happening, but that's still a chance. Therefore, it is [i]not[/i] 100% effective. [/QB][/QUOTE]
