No, I got it. I didn’t think it was justified.
I had the impression billthedrill wasn’t making excuses, but was highlighting the fact that even with all the electronic gear, navigating a busy waterway holds a lot of pitfalls.
I didn’t see the poster making excuses for anyone. I have a suspicion blithedrill understands better than anyone just where this is going to end up for the Captain of the USS Fitzgerald.
