And this is a perfect example of what is going on around us.

The marker is in the right place because GPS says so, and submerged rocks are of no concern so long as they can match up the marker with the GPS coordinates.

There is clearly something wrong when the electronics and the marker align and thus are correct and it is the rock that is in the wrong place,,,

How do you fix that perspective.

Oh, I know, make everyone wear rubber boots, face masks, ear & nose plugs and keep out all visitors and make residents move away and your problem is solved.

We are living in odd times, sure hope we all survive this.
