Default Moral issue on \"Missle Dance\"

I have seen lots of Posts both pro and con on the manuever know commonly as the "missle dance".

At 1st I agreed that this was a very unsporting way to to take advantage of the computer players in tact combat.

But while playin a game Last nite I had an epiphany (for me at least).

What is the difference b/t doin a missle dance early in the game (or any time for that matter) and takin advantage of range differences b/t your ships and the computer using DF weapons? IE - you have DUC that hits 5 squares away and cmptr has some wmpy cannon that only shoots 3 squares - logically you stay w/in 4 squares of the enemy (after accounting for movement on both sides)

I fail to see the difference b/t this, as I'll call it, "Max Wpn Range Dance" and the "Missle Dance"... is it just me or am I missing something.
