Nope. I also don't have evidence that cockroaches are smarter than
elephants. So, back at you... do you seriously believe that a dismasted
boat
is stable in heavy seas? Because that's the real discussion whether or not
you choose to acknowledge it.

You pretty much did in your previous comment. You should read what you
write. It's a gas.

As I said. You're now claiming that the Mac is somehow a special case.
Yes,
I know so.

You don't know much about boats... clearly, and I do think so.

Well, that's apparently pretty easy to do!
Feel free to show us some empirical evidence that a Mac will not roll,
capsize, and kill anyone stupid enough to be in the conditions previously
described. Nope, didn't think you could.
