because boats are burned into human culture and the peanut brigade cannot separate out dna memory and instinct from reality ---------- so, a handful of people come on a boat and thousands come by plane - but, the simple people are all over the boat event
Boats are a HUGE deal in the human story -----------
look no further than
Suttonhoo
Noah
colonisation
Lisbon - see the sculpture below
there are thousands and thousands of examples where boats are burned into our culture and consciousness
so much that we name things - like the word 'spaceship'
so a boat landing on a coast - carries a lot more long memory umph than an aircraft will
