Are you saying the American charts use a stupid system for indicating
clearance?

Hmmm. That's a worry. Might mean you'll need tide tables to decide if
you can pass an overhead...

I think he's saying that US charts require the operator of the vessel to pay
attention to his/her surroundings, know how to read the charts, know how to
make use of the information provided, and know how to apply that information to
other variables which may make the "datum" inaccurate, for a given moment ....
now that I think about it, so do B.A. charts.
No chart/system, is perfect. You need to know which system you are using and
what it's plusses and drawbacks are.
