It's only hypocritical if you're the one dragging the wire, so to speak.
We all drag the wire. When you buy a new pair of shoes and wonder if you're not paying too much then you're dragging the wire. Wrecks are in the way. Going around them takes time and increases cost. Time is money. If you're not willing to pay "whatever it takes" so wrecks can be left alone and shipping lanes can be reorganised every time a ship sinks then YOU are dragging the wire.
Think about that because from where I'm sitting there is hypocritical and there are those who don't even know what their roll is.......
