Default using oil to calm the seas

Your wrong. It doesn't work to calm the seas. What's the definition of
"Seas"?
They are large waves. Oil can do nothing about calming large waves. Oil only
calms the
surface of large waves.

I suggest you start doing and stop teaching. You might learn somethin' mam'


Well let's see... on the one hand, we have a fake usenet 'personality'
quoting various BS to claim that an oil slick only "calms the surface
of large waves" and this is worthless. OTOH we have people who have
been there, done that, and say it works.

What a dilemma, whom should we believe????
