nope.... its not rocket science because many of us have used the techniques extensively over the years..... but if you've never had to work your way into a coastline without absolute certainty before, it would I imagine be quite frightening...... Don't you remember the first time you went out of sight of land on DR?.... the relief of getting a proper fix again was quite a thing...... this would have been on the back of having learned to trust your navigation over time doing coastal nav..... but imagine if that experience was the first time you'd ever navigated traditionally?......
Maybe i'm overplaying it (a little bit intentionally), but just trying to make a point...
