Perfect example of what my point was MEANT to be - not that
thrust/guidance 
technology is not yet capable (It IS, I agree), but that energy
efficiency 
technology is not yet capable of sustaining it for long.  Take said
Harrier, 
and hold it in place.  Now hold it there for a long time.  How long will

it's tanks hold out?  Not as long as it would if the then converted it
into 
forward flight.  It's a fuel issue, not  a thrust/precision issue.
