You may. Consider this a Notice to Mariners to correct their paper

Glen,
We were on a friends boat anchored at Nai Harn. Our boat is on the hard
at Boat Lagoon undergoing some paintwork and new teak deck.
Our total up and down movement would not have exceeded 3 metres.
Will gladly supply any further info if required.

That's a great argument for laying out plenty of scope, isn't it? I
imagine some short-scope rodes in shallower waters broke anchor and
went aground.
