No you are right, I was mostly trying to take a dig at Google in the pile on.  
But an automated boat wouldn't be completely 'empty' and its failure to 
navigate would be grounds for anger (at those damned engineers).  So my whole

Guess I was the one perpetuating an empty argument….  Don't get mad there 
wasn't anyone at home.
