Pattern recognition fails when the pattern is changed.
Streamers can confuse some tracking missiles.

Suppose something similar here, a way to "blur" the surface signal. That could be a disguise, could be used to send the hunters in the wrong direction.

A surface pattern isn't inherent in the existence of a submarine, so it can be camouflaged successfully.

That kind of confusion of symptom for disease has caused many projects and programmers to confuse workarounds for cures.
