Why Cylon basestars need a fallback doctrine

Why are Cylon basestars not treated as a successful carrier example?

Their doctrine assumes cyberattack has already neutralized the opponent and offers too little fallback when that assumption fails.

Cylon basestars are criticized for depending on an enemy whose command and control has already been disabled. Their plan then relies on missile attacks against that weakened opponent. The weakness is the absence of a convincing fallback when the initial disabling attack fails. In this comparison, the Colonial fleet is reasonably well balanced despite the criticism often directed at it.
