More silly speculation from yours truly:

Dazzle and Polski cunning ...

Pre-radar naval dazzle paint was predicated upon optical confusion doing the do. The asymetry designed to confound the eye and mind way back when does not seem to be paralelled in contemporary use of the EM spectrum. In other words, are the materials under the surface of, say, a low observability airframe symetrical?

The Poles in WWII used to "whisper" enticing Nazi sparks to crank the gain...

"FICK!" followed if the entire set did not blow appart. Not as controversial as a full EMP and in modern form possibly a nice way to take out the enemy ears
