People keep saying that..... but i dont believe it for one second.
when peolpe used active sonar to track (asdic anyone?) we got around that by developing a decoy that reflected sound waves, representing the target, and hooray, a countermeasure was developed which was effective when employed properly.
When people used passive sonar in homing torps etc, we developed nixie decoys etc, again a decoy to represent the target.
take it away from the ocean, apply it to anything military - when the enemy develops something new to attack you with, you come up with something newer to defend yourself with. So why everyone keeps saying these wake-homing torps are unavoidable i'll never know
