True, but I can tell you that by the early 80's plenty of people were studying how to make packet networks resilient in the face of nuclear threats. I was one of them consulting for a little (now defunct) company called Alta Technology where we did such stuff for the big defense companies, like Rockwell Autonetics up in Anaheim.
