The OP was about sub-launched ballistic missiles - I was trying to make the point that when a ballistic missile flies from a sub, you cannot tell the yield, and the potential hair trigger-response will be the same regardless of yield.

This type of weapon is essentially destabilizing, as the article said.

I agree with you on other weapons, the flight profile will be vastly different.
