I didn't say it was worse or better. My point is: "cyberwar" can be responsible for painful and "real" physical damage in the physical world. In that regard it is in no way "better" than the "usual/conventionnal" physical wars.

Well of course, that's the entire point! They are not trying to do entirely virtual actions à la Star Trek's A Taste of Armageddon.

However, you have to concede that at least so far the physical damage is far lower, and therefor unlike you I do regard it as better.
