Makes sense. I picked up the idea that the noiselessness before the hit
worked as a _negative_ to the terror aim  from Michael J. Neufeld's
_The Rocket and the Reich_ (p. 274). Don't know where he got it. Guess
I better start reading footnotes.

The "reversal of cause and effect" would have to cut _both_ ways to
some extent, wouldn't it? If you _heard_ it, you knew it wasn't for you. But 
if you _didn't_ hear it, you didn't know anything.
