OK, I'll bite: What's your thinking behind that statement?

Simple and obvious... some shoal draft boats are quite seaworthy, and
some deep draft boats are not.

Getting the center of gravity very low is good, but can be accomplished
fairly well without a deep keel; furthermore it is not the only factor
in what makes a boat "seaworthy."

willing to entertain heresy, but some types of heresy will drown

I think that lack of knowledge or facility with a given boat's
characteristics are more likely to be drowning offenses than choosing a
certain type of boat. But that may be heresy to some ears, too
