Additionally in the book they write:

The answer is context.
Most of the North Atlantic IS too deep and cold, but obviously there are localities with various circumstances. To make a blanket statement about no reachable thermal layers and apply it to every square meter of the N. Atlantic is over generalization.
That said, it was largely true, and if you have to choose one or the other for the game ( do we still ?) then taking them out is certainly a choice that can be rationalized.
