Jackdaw, I made a bold statement, you called me out on it. I explained myself, you and others pointed to errors in my knowledge-base, I argued back, corrected an assumption based on your information and elaborated on my idea. I remain sceptical about the impossibilities of my thoughts, but I respect your position. If we have the technology to measure a 5mm change in a distant planet's orbit, I can't imagine we can't put instruments on a boat that can find its position within feet of a dangerous and known rock without satellite help.
There is, of course, a point at which this discussion needs to wind down and I think you are wise to be sensitive to it at this time. Another of my many failing is my inability to recognise those times before it is too late.
I hope you know I hold your opinions in high regard. I just don't agree with you on this.
