"Moral Panic" is a well known concept in mass communications exemplified by such incidents as Devil worship in the Orkneys and systemic child abuse in Lancashire, none of which had any basis in fact. Would be a pity if such phenomena spread into Yachting.
I suggest you read the article, which was factual.
I find the link of whether or not to by a liferaft based on factual data with the two exmples you give of 'moral panic' tenuous in the extreme.
