I meant the opposite though. The US might have made it seem they're building the SDI, whilst they merely were planning it or even just discussing it, or building something else. Think about it this way from a perspective of a Soviet Army Headquarters officer: how could you know what the shuttles would really be delivering to the orbit? I mean, you know it's a satellite, but will that satellite be able to practically destroy anything? How could you be sure? So, when those types of the Cold War era intelligence games start, a simple-minded crocodile like myself just shuts his ears so as not to develop an inferiority complex.
