Earlier, in this post you pointed out some of the difficulties in a civilization 1480 ly away launching an attack on Earth’s civilization due to the distances involved.
I started that with the unrealistic assumption that the attacking civ is close to us in age. In that specific scenario the latency does matter and a photon attack has a potential niche. But that scenario is rare.
