And you keep insisting that a NUC is completely unable to maneuver, while
the rules only say "unable to maneuver as required by these Rules." There
is a difference, and this is why I claim that the two classes can overlap,
and this is why the rules left this issue open.

This seems to be the crux of our disagreement.
Please explain to me why you think that by adding "as required by these
Rules" somehow makes this vessel maneuverable and relate it to the maneuvers
the Rules would require you to make.
G I could have a case for saying you are reading too much or your own
thoughts into the rules or amending them to suit your perceptions....
