It is difficult to miss something that you have never experienced.
It is not possible to know: what you do not know.
if you have never experienced it, then you can not missed it

3.3.2 LINKS
Links connect individual elements and operations, thus forming subsystems and then a technique. Almost every link can be considered an input or an output, for example, cables, pipes, wires. A link is the real physical channel for transition of fields, substances, and/or information and relation and interaction between subsystems. (As already noted, information cannot be nonmaterial; it always is a substance or field.) The main condition for technique operation is the gradient of field(s) and/or substance(s) between elements or subsystems (that can be viewed as a deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium that is due to the Onsager principle, which is well known in physics). With a gradient, the moving force arises, causing the flow of substances or fields. Some examples are:
• temperature gradient causes heat flow (heat conductivity),
• gradient of concentration causes the flow of substance (diffusion),
• velocity gradient causes the flow of momentum,
• gradient of electrical field causes electric current.
Often it is required to organize the flow with the gradient of another field, for example, flow of substance at temperature gradient. A flow can be facilitated by a substance (pipe, shaft, gear), by a field (heat, electric), or by a substance-field mixture (smelled particles, magnetic fluid, information signals, luminescent gel).

A ship's wake is as easy to spot from the sky as a fighter's contrail.

in the wonderful world of stealth, once we had acquired the right shape, the size of an object really didn't matter. ([ from the perspective of RADAR ])
p.280
One of the biggest problems we had to overcome was our own extreme invisibility!
The ocean waves showed up on radar like a string of tracer bullets.
And if the ship was totally invisible, it looked like a blank spot ── like a hole in the doughnut ── that was a dead give away.
In the stealth business, you tried like the devil not to be quieter than the background noise, because that was like a trumpet-blast warning to the enemy.
