I appreciate that you enjoy giving thought-out answers to dumb questions :)
You make a good point that it's never a good idea to turn on radar right away because this can be easily used to quickly determine that a missile is in the air. I didn't think of a missile being able to classify radar returns by size/complexity, but that's a feature I can see would be easy to implement in the guidance module even decades ago.
Speaking of decoys, I am sure you know of the ALE-55 system for F-35s. I was really surprised to find out that something like that was enough to fool anti air missiles, but that's just my ignorance. The technology is cool!
