The analogy to my home is flawed. It's more like walking around South Central L.A. at 3 am while carrying a KKK banner, and then having someone attack you.
That's all good IF we can ever achieve it and if something hasn't overtake the situation by that time. Is it a good thing to put all your eggs in that basket?

No it is not. The boat was coming in at a pretty good clip and disregarded warnings. What is it you suggest the sailor do? Wait till the pull alongside and ask if they can borrow a cup of sugar?
