The problem with all those cases you mentioned is that the operators knew exactly where to aim their radars to intercept the track of the weapon... the geometry of the weapon track in fact could be preprogrammed into the fire control simply to eliminate the skill of the operator during the test.
This would be an effective demonstration of the capability of the technology under ideal conditions, but not proof or example of how the weapon system as a whole, including the search radar and human operator systems, would perform during battle conditions.
Cheers,
David
