Some of these nautical things can be very confusing.
Like the Sextant for example;
All sextants have errors on the graduated arc.the rule is:~
when calculating a reading after having carried out an observation,,
"when its off , its on,
and when its off its on"
This is a frightful riddle to anyone who is not a navigator,
and thankfully is not relevant to this discussion, but I thought I would mention it as a curiosity
Actually, I would have thought this is very relevant
How can anyone be sure what their data feed is telling them is the truth?
They cant. Data feeds can lie and we can never be sure what we think we see is really there - past or present.
