The bonehead manouver is it being removed? As if its only from an enemys JP it doesnt seem to bad.

It only required a Jump gate because they didn't have any other way to make 2 jump points other than using a jump gate for one of them.

Sheridan: Tell me, Commander…have you ever wondered what would happen if you opened a jump point while inside a jump gate?
Ivanova: No! And neither should you! EarthForce experimented with the idea during the Minbari War. They called it the Bonehead Maneuver. [to Lennier] No offense.
Lennier: [more curious than offended] None taken.
lastbesthope said:OK, it said jump gate in the episode, but if it works in a jump gate, why not a non gate jump point.
ANyway, back to the wailing and gnashing of teeth

lastbesthope said:OK, but there's a lot of energy in a jump point, and a nearby ship that opened it with some Q40 in t's jump engines no doubt. It'd likely still be possible to make a bang.
Even just the shockave as the one JP collapsed the other (the likely minimum outcome as I see it) would be nasty.

I'm just citing what we can take from the show. Sheradin states specifically a jump point in a jump gate.
