Good points, Torpedo Fodder, such operation in a known heavyly defended position, trough heavyly defended passages hardly could have had success.
I'll add that "Sea Lion" was a sort of experiment not planned in advance; why to allow the evacuation of Dunquerque, if you know that those soldiers later will defend theyr home ground?
The dream of an invasion appeared in Hitler's mind too late to have a decent hope of success.
