Read it again, HHI. First, I said "we have no idea how much of the boat is still above water" which means it could be 100% or 1%. I didn't venture a guess.

Second, I said "an EXPERIENCED captain may know better than to take on a sinking ship" which is just true and a POSSIBILITY that the ship COULD be sinking, but I never said I thought it was.

I also made it quite clear that I was just posing an alternate possibility.
