You don't know that, since you only have data for level-2 Stealth.
Unless
Noam's changed his mind after our discussion, level-1 reduces enemy
ranges by 1/4, level-2 by 1/3.

Again unless Noam changed his mind, no it doesn't.

Same as for screens of the same level.

According to Noam, he and Mk had been discussing this for a while
already. I don't think Mk was completely surprised by this device :-/

Wrong. It is perfectly useful in campaign battles, although it will lose
some of its efficiency after the first few encounters - but that's just
as true for other tactics. Once the enemy has learned how to cope, the
efficiency goes down.
