Fairly sure this is an naval architecture problem a company of Maersk scale would be able to solve. There may be additional strengthening installed whilst the sails are installed. Seems like a ‘use more steel’ type problem.

Yeah, presumably so. But most articles of this sort tend to be more like one-sided sales pitches. Personally, I'd fall over if I saw an article which adopted a Kantian 'thesis' 'antithesis' ergo suggested 'synthesis' approach.

Is that smart way of saying present both sides of the argument? I tend to work in 'more steel' type problems ;)

Hegelian, you mean. Kantian argument would be pretty boring, as it's typically exhaustive.

Exhaustive to the extent practical would be nice :)
