I will disagree with one point:

I've found several accounts of merchant ships avoiding torpedoes. But, they were always underway, and did manage to avoid them by turning, not acceleration or deceleration. And several does not equal many. And a lot of the ones who avoided a torpedo got caught by the next one. And since PT is not in a position to do extensive testing it's possible that a ship may actually still evade a torpedo every now and then.
So, I'm not arguing with the basic premise, just pointing out a fact of life. And I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
