The analogy of the ship's captain moving at 5 knots was when underway only, NOT the obvious potentially dangerous situation of docking the ship at its berth. I suppose the equivalent situation to docking a ship for airline pilots is the captain-monitored approach, with min. vis. with rain, max. crosswind, etc. when it again should be the airline captain doing that type of landing, just as the ship's captain is doing a docking.
