They're a pretty good analogy because you use a deflector style guard in the bay that ALSO is anchored in the earth. Nobody stops a whole cargo ship traveling straight at a thing via brute stopping power. You don't do it with cars and you don't do it with boats. You use deflectors that are roughly parallel to the direction of travel. Otherwise, all you can do is build a giant bunker which is not cost effective.
