If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

Bulk/dimensions might be another issue though. A maritime strike version of the EX might end up using fewer pylons when carrying a strike package of JASSMs. Any F-15 pilots about?
Navy has the LRASM that is comparable in weight and a F-18 E/F can carry 4 of those
F-15Es can carry 5 JASSMs
