I just looked it up, it’s a huge distance between Thailand and Argentina, about 17,000 km if you were flying. Going around the tip of South America adds an extra 1000 km, making the trip 5% longer. Meh.

What are you saying? It’s longer. That’s my only point. Are you saying it’s not longer… “enough”? What’s the deal here, what are we doing?

I mean, yes. It isn’t longer enough to make sea travel anything but the most efficient method to ship something.

That’s not the point, the point is how long it is to ship fucking pears halfway around the globe, twice. Imagine the stuff you’d need to smear on those pears to keep them fresh, or how unripe they’d need to be when harvesting.
I’m not talking about how efficient sea shipping is vs flying or driving.

Well I guess that was what made the original statement confusing, because that’s definitely what it sounded like you were saying . I imagine this feels like a frustrating conversation (and I am sorry for that), but it’s probably because of that lack of clarity.
