Are there people out there who are too stupid to take a running fix????

Not sure what you're grumbling about. These are "shortcuts" and means of
estimating a distance you will be off when abeam of an object and are
all part of and ways of, performing a running fix, with quick math
solutions.
They've been used by many sailors for years .... mayhaps you should try
to learn to use them .... add to your knowledge base, as it were.....

I would always double check my calculations anyway(with a proper plot) ....
wouldn't you?

So I wouldn't save any time by using the short cut!!!

It only takes a few seconds to plot a running fix. Why would you bother
with a short cut?
