That is just one of the nuggets of "wisdom" on that site. Just scanned through the risk of collision and not impede sections, and I have to say it's complete ****e. Would avoid.

Don't you think risk of collision may 'start to develop' some time before two or more vessels are so close that collision is almost inevitable?
Talk about death by Powerpoint - he has 67 slides to explain rule 7, but doesn't discuss steady compass bearing until the last few slides. I don't believe I need to tell you this is the most important determinant in risk of collision. The one part of that rule that really deserves some explanation is subpara d.(II) that risk of collision may still exist when there is an appreciable change in bearing, but the only thing he says about it, is that bearing errors may exist when ownship is rolling and pitching. If the powerpoint presentations are indicative of the quality of the book, I would not waste my money on it. All IMO.

Philosophically speaking, of course, the risk of collision began at the very instance the Universe was created.

You don't subscribe to the multiverse theory then?
