This is all quite simple to follow, provided we make allowances for the unknowable things we don't know about, as well as the knowable things we do know about. The trouble starts when we don't figure in an unknown value in our calculations, to compensate for the actions of invisible gremlins and other things that go "bump" in the night. If we guesstimate a value that is way off kilter, then we might not end up where we think we ought to. If we don't allow enough estimated value of compensation, then we might end up somewhere else, but sooner than we should. Of all outcomes, this might be the preferred option, as it generally allows for more "Run Ashore Time."
So Skweek, if you thought that the injunears had a tuff thyme, then spare a thought occasionally for the Naviguessers!!
