Matt emphasises a good point here.
There are two different sorts of evidence:- evidence about distance apart of hulls, which necessarily is an estimate, and an approximation, and
- evidence about contact which is (usually) incontrovertible.
We should prefer incontrovertible facts over estimates.John Allan Today 00:15 -
I always use a digital voice recorder with a lapel mic. The DVR sits in my pocket so I have my hands free for a 6x zoom monocular (laser range finder) in one hand and a handheld radio/remote in the other. With some practice you can idententify a sail number through the monocular while watching the rest of the fleet with the other eye.David Taylor Today 00:03

Jim Champ Reply to: 22039 - John Quirk: furthermore, in CASE 50, in the first sentence, it actually uses the term "genuine and reasonable apprehension" (this of course a standard used by courts with applications for an arrest in connection with non-bailable offences), and in the second sentence 'reasonable doubt' (again, a well-tested legal / court term). Quite some complexity for a competitor and PC to become acquainted with :).

Ang I as well .. was just trying to clearly describe where/how the ambiguity resides that you pointed out.
And I appreciate it.(Why do I suddenly feel like I'm Charlie Brown and you're Lucy holding the ball! <g>).
I never called you a blockhead.John Allan Mon 19:26
