Only at an apprentice level. If he can work up to where he calls names
in the process (with the number of names called and personal attacks
corresponding to the degree of his technical inaccuracy), he'll be
ready for prime time.

Sounds a bit like a USCG boarding I endured a couple of years ago. I
was also written up for an insufficient horn, but everything else was
OK. (He thought he had me when he asked to see Chart #1- but I had it
aboard as required).

When the boarding officer was filling out his inspection form and
giving me a warning about the horn, he asked "I forget- what's the
name of the body of water we're on?" To be fair, he was very young
and probably just transfered in from some other part of the country-
but he really ought to know the name of the area he is patrolling. (It
was Port Madison. I have to assume that he could have declared the
general location; Puget Sound).
