My distinguished colleague:

I have two thoughts.

First, once I too become so infirm, incontinent, and incapacitated
with age I will prefer to die in a boat rather than a planed
retirement community with 9 holes and a bingo game down the side walk.
So tied to the dock is preferred to the former.

Second, in many families, organizations, and cultures mediocrity is
rewarded and performance is punished. So we must take into
consideration the realm in which many consider truth and normal. To
ask them to perform is the same as asking them to believe the moon is
made of cheese. They just cannot wrap their minds around certain
abstract concepts.

So they will castigate or attempt to castrate those who challenge
their safe world of hair dryers, refrigeration, and wives who run
their life as well as their boats.
