hmmm...I still think you have a 'blind-spot' on this subject.  What
about 
'grav-tech'?  Races have the ability to levitate a 200 ton vehicle but
they 
can't artificially increase the mass of a small nuke or devise some
method to 
'enrich' the fissable material to a greater extent?  Not to mention the
100s 
of much more obscure things that MIGHT be possible in a century or so
yet 
would make a device of this type possible.

I would be more likely to 'buy-in' to the argument (whoever stated it)
that 
the 'Generals' would not trust every other grunt with a nuke.  But not 
because of escalation of hostilities but because of the fear of friendly
fire!

But that's just my opinion :-)
