Fred;
I said " If the lee scupper will be at or below the waterline" when heeled. I have been aboard boats where that is the case and water flows back from the through hull and collects in the low side of the cockpit, producing cold wet feet if you aren't careful. A San Juan and a Cal owned by friends come to mind. My 38 has the sole high enough that this has never happened. My 25 will let a small amount of water into the low side when heeled at about 30 degrees - that must be the point where the scupper reaches the level of the waterline - quite a bit comes in if you get the 25 heeled to the point the toerail is in the water. You are right and the crossed lines out the side of the boat would not drain when heeled.

If he does this, and has the drains exit above the waterline, the cockpit will never drain when heeled; the water won't be able to run uphill!
