Well, if your opponent has totally overbuilt their chaff needs, then yes they will simply chaff sweep whatever they want. However, if your opponent is showing any cost containment discipline on his chaff he will not have the hundreds or thousands of chaff available to sweep an SDs deep multiple overlapping MFs AND absorb enough of the enemies missiles if the enemy maintains a credible missile fleet.
I quite agree that you should at all times have missiles, beams and chaff in any manuever fleet. However, I have played against several players who build essentially nothing but AMP Nubians in the late game. This enables me to re-allocate my chaff from anti-missile to anti-MF duty without having to replace the hundreds of chaff thus expended, I only need enough with my fleet to absorb a round from a SB. This really crippled an SD I was playing as his MFs were no longer a factor.
