<<Wrong.  ARPANET's was designed as a network that
would withstand massive enemy attack and still permit
the US government to maintain command and control,
that is not a requirement applied retroactively.>>

Yes, you've said that.  So have I.  So have others.

What's the point?  "Command and control"?  This
primitive interent was for a government to maintain
command and control of its own affairs not the affairs
of its citizens, beyond the control most citizen's
(not you, apparently) would deem necessary and its
collapsing.  

And its means of withstanding attack was
decentralization.
