What's this got to do with keeping a proper lookout by
eyes and ears?

What it has to do with it, is what you do with the information a lookout
gives you, and what YOU do about course changes in a fog, based on
scanty sound information.

What kind of drugs are you on, anyhow?

BG Lipitor and prilosec .... you? (EG save the stupid lecture, not
interested)

You still disgraced yourself with your arrogant statement
saying if a vessel cannot see the bridge then it cannot
be seen. This statement is dangerously ignorant and
shows a total disregard for keeping a proper lookout.

The above statement is typically stupid. I could easily have said "if
you cannot see the bow or bow lookout", but anyone with any intelligence
would have understood that .... this excludes you, of course. It also
shows you're typical lack of experience in not understanding the
"mechanics" of fog and how someone higher up would not necessarily be
able to see something lower down.... and vice versa.
