"Do you really think you have understood/interpreted the first paragraph as the author had intended to convey. It seems you were eager to slam him from the get-go!"

You're right. The first paragraph of the article did two things -- it insulted people the author claims to be superior to (calling them "land lubbers"), and then goes on to demonstrate that the author doesn't know what he's talking about.

The term "cut and run" may very well derive from nautical use. But I believe it applies more to an anchored ship that is attacked by another ship, and the only chance to survive is to cut the anchor cable and get the heck outta there rather than make a fight of it. That could be construed as a sign of cowardice.
