What you posted Gimpy is pretty much what they said back in the late 50's and early 60's and they where wrong "Our better missiles will win the day dog fighting is a thing of the past old boys".Today we are saying the same thing with the F-22 with even more advanced technology than what was available in the old day and just as likely to perform less than ideally in the real world.

So far the kill ratio f22 has is very impressive in the exercises.
In dogfights the raptor loses on some rear occasions mostly due to ROE that put it in disadvantage.
The f22 seems to be very effective against 4th generation fighters.
It might be currently an overkill with high price but it seems to be good at what it was designed to do...in the far future who knows.
