In almost any case one might choose, that sounds like gospel. Having said that, and according to Murphy, "Anything that can go wrong will, and there will always be someone who just knew it would."
Given that I'm simply standing on the beach, I'm not likely to put anything on the rocks, nor will I ever, unintentionally cross the boundaries of anyone’s territorial waters uninvited. Others might well lack such comfortable margins for error.
