The problem is that small boats without radar, that are not good reflectors,

The operator of that small boat without radar may be foolish or even
foolhardy, or not, but the fact is that boat and operator have as much
"business" being there as you or the QE2.

The problem is with those who think that some another vessel has no
business being there and act as if it is not their responsibility to
take into account the possibility of meeting such a vessel in dense fog.

So you claim that a plastic kayak with stealth coating, no radar or reflector,
has every right to travel in shipping channels in pea soup fog? That sounds
like stupidity to me. Or are you simply claiming that everyone has a right to
commit suicide?
