No. Why should I?

According to the testimony Chuck posted the SOLAS standard flares did no
better than the good old USCG ones in a foggy situation when a passing
boat
was *nearby*.

Not so. The PGID (poor guy in distress) noticed a dramatic difference
in the amount of
light produced by the SOLAS flares. It is true that neither flare
attracted the commercial fish boat's attention, but not true that there
was no difference in performance.

I never said otherwise Chuck.
