Any time we play any game with friends, is it a net one or just LAN, or even electric darts, there is always that one rule:
"The computer [automat] is the referee [judge]".
If the referee says there was not any goal, there was not. If he says, that there was one - there was indeed, even if the ball has never been even close... So if the computer says I haven't sunk any ship, that means the ship I saw sinking sunk from heavy seas, bombed by aircraft or because it had a mad captain with suicidal behaviours.
