It strikes me as plausible that spoofing of the AIS could contribute to a collision

I posted about relying entirely on AIS for collision avoidance [here.](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/how-are-you-using-ais/45959/11)

> We used AIS for collision avoidance till I managed to tune the 10 cm up better and got so we could match up AIS with a radar return, then when the rain let up a bit to get the ARRA vectors going again.
