On the other hand, millstones aren't sacred. If you'd gone to a great deal of effort and expense to obtain holy stones from afar, you naturally would treat them well. You wouldn't risk losing them to the bottom of the sea by slippage. I don't think you would, anyway.

Good point. Many days paddling downriver and up a dangerous coastline for a bluestone to sling it preceriously beneath your boat?

That's a better argument than any other against it.
