Not to mention the nice side effect of having a much better idea of how the other side might proceed if they wanted to do a first strike (which is a rather strong "if", but America back in the day surely felt different about that).
But what gives the Unz interpretation a bit of weight is the element of "if you ever want to first strike, it's now or never" that was clearly present. This can easily turn a purely theoretical game-plan into a purely theoretical game-plan with a zealous PR department.
