Oh sure.  I'm not terribly concerned about reality when I game.  I
mean, what's the fun in that?  If I want my villian to have a 30 knot
yacht, he's got one.  (Well, if he were in 1800, he wouldn't, but you
know what I mean.)   I point things out about your VOTW because there
are people who do care, and because the vehicles rules aren't
completely accurate.
