A mass attack still has to coordinate its arrival

Central control is questioned as a solution to swarm coordination, and the Yamato attack is distinguished from a simultaneous arrival.

Notes

A swarm looks attractive on paper because it promises to overwhelm the enemy. Organizing many weapons and bringing them together at the right moment is the practical difficulty. Centralized control by one operator is treated sceptically as a solution. An audience example of the large American air attack on Yamato receives a qualification: the aircraft arrived in waves rather than all at once.
