I disagree. It depends on circumstances, and you have the right to make a
choice.
If you are in a yacht going 4-6 knots with several miles visibility it is
pointless to keep on long range scanning.
If you are in a VLCC with six miles stopping distance it is quite a
different ball game.
But Jon is quite correct in his post.in that if you get it wrong it is not
going to look too good in court

Correct. You'd be better served, at least with commercial traffic which is
typically the situation, to use AIS.
