Reading the Oregon fishing rules book, and they have a big safety notice in
their. "Who has the right of way? THE BIG GUY" Shows a sailboat saying
they will turn, we have the right of way. The deckhand of the tanker is
saying, did you feel a bump?

But what's the point of being a stickler on rules nobody obeys?

Or even learning them?

Just wondering.

Just one little detail, or so...

If you have a boo-boo, the fault will be assessed wrt the rules, wether
you know them or not.

Otherwise, if only 10% of those you encounter know the rules, and obey
them, you will improve he odds if you pretend they all do, since it must
be assumed that those who do not will err about 50-50 either way.

If you know them, you can quite rightly lecture those idiots who don't,
advancing your aspirations toward snobbery.

There is no better feeling than being snobbish about being right, even in
court, when you get damages, if you survive.
