Placing the thrusters far from center of mass makes it easier to introduce
angluar momentum into the system; i.e., the missile cartwheels out of
control. Ideally, center of mass and point of thrust would be same point.

I was referring to a fighter, where being able to quickly rotate would be an
advantage. Thrusters appropriately placed could be used to stop the rotation at
the optimal time.
