Nah, it's actually a reasonably valid point (and along the lines of what had me debating the use of the analogy before I typed it) ... except that she didn't sail with the proper strength of steel and standard quality rivets. If she had, then you're at least possibly spot on that the damage didn't have to be fatal.

But just as she faced the Atlantic with what she was fitted with, we don't get to face the ramifications of this election in an "if only" scenario, we're stuck with the substandard materials that are actually on the ship in reality.
