International Rules apply on open water.
Inland Rules apply on inland water.
Rule 12 makes Rule 13 superfluous in any case where
there is enough water to make overtaking unnecessary
because there is plenty of space to avoid being close
enough to have to overtake and pass at close quarters.
This is extremely logical and evident. I fail to see why
people can't seem to get it.

The point is that, if sailing vessels adhere to Rule 12, Rule 13 is
superfluous
because an overtaking situation is avoided.
Try arguing the point. You will find it more difficult than laughing at
mistakes.
So, your contention now is that Rule 12's negation of Rule 13 is only
applicable in open water. Do the colregs only apply in open water?
