He can use his skills of navigation as a sailor and understanding the weather and his experience to say, okay, this is something I navigate through. This is something I navigate around. But he doesn't just react based on the external conditions. And we react constantly to our external conditions based on what we're perceiving is going on. I'll preface this by saying I think
