Why stealth through small radar dot, when we could have stealth through making the dot so large it's impossible to know where it's coming from? Are they stupid?

The power decreases by the radius squared. A 100mhz pulse transmitted with 1 peta watt of power over 320 km with 30 dbi of antenna gain will have 5.5 mega watts of received power. I’m pretty sure plasma generation will happen at those power levels which will stop transmission all together. Physics gets weird at high power levels.
