Don't be a total idiot all the time, Willy..... there's a big difference
between most of what you say and a boat at anchor. Try to remember Rule
2 and use some common sense for a change

If I used your and Jeff's flawed logic it would follow that your boat
is your prison. If you had to keep a lookout "at all times" it would
mean when your boat was on the hard getting the bottom painted. It
would mean when your boat was sitting on the trailer. It would mean
when your boat was in your back yard. It would mean when your boat was
on a tractor trailer rig being hauled across country. It would mean
when your boat was tied up in the slip. You could never leave your
boat because the rule says "at all times."

See how stupid it gets? Nope, in spite of what you and Jeff try to
claim, Rule 5 appears only under the Steering and Sailing rules. Hence
it only applies when steering and sailing. Anchored boats, boats tied
up at a dock, boats aground, are not steering and sailing. Don't try
to obfuscate by bring up a bunch of other rules. They don't apply in a
discussion of what Rule 5 says.
