First of all you did not know my crew. <G> Moreover, the reason they
have skippers on boats is because they are better trained than crew
and passengers. It's a fact of life. Human society is inherently
hierarchical for the simple reason that it contributes to "inclusive
fitness".
Could anyone imagine democracy on a commercial airliner?
"I want to fly higher so I can see further!"
"No I want to fly lower so I can see the cows!"
"OK, let's vote on it."
