>i'm sure you can tell there is a difference between these two sentences.Yes. The concept linking the two sentences is time.
If a boat takes 5 hours to sink and help is 6 hours away, is that preferable to a boat taking 30 minutes to sink with help 20 minutes away?
The urgency of an emergency, and the time to rescue, are concepts so intertwined they LITERALLY do not make sense without the other. So the theory arguing for carrying less than 100% capacity lifeboats, from either the perspective of either the sinking or rescue being timely, is the same exact argument. It is two ways of saying exactly the same thing, and it's a failure in conceptual reasoning not to notice.
