To take my sophistry to its logical conclusion (at least I am admitting it :-) wouldn't this be only an specific solution for the Australia instance? can we apply this "rule" to the transport of, say, refugees? All I am saying is, counting the cargo is not the most ideal solution for the Murdering Captain problem. Sometimes you might even get willing participants. Say, a ship paid to transport 100 Cubans to the U.S for political asylum might just be better off bringing 100, paying Costa Ricans (ignoring linguistic identification :-) I have an academic interest in this because I have been a refugee escaping on a boat, helped by traffickers to leave Somalia. And also, because I have an interest in the accurate identification of undocumented individuals (with their active participation, of course; adversarial identification is something better left to Langley)
