More of a sales and marketing joke, predicting sales growth 10 years into the future based on 2 data points 3 months apart.

It's not a joke, but I was lying in bed a few days ago wondering, and if this isn't the right place to share my musings...

Because they have to dump the energy as heat... Powering the heat exchange system uses a lot of MWe. If it is the job of a spaceship's "shields" to absorb energy from an attacker's weapons, then why should they become more and more depleted as they absorb multiple hits? Shouldn't they get stronger?
That's how they work on the USS Dewey.
