I think part of the passion for smashing bottles against the noses of ships before they depart the yard is not only a charm or totem. I think it is also a celebration of what could've been and what will be if you think the ship is destined for disaster. A chance, after months and days and years (relative), to lift restrictions and wiggle, watching the behemoth's construction. It's a time to dance and dance as thoroughly as possible. The smashing of a full bottle being representative. Once in union, all the rest is random and uncontrollable and sometimes violent and magical and explosive and "the last unexpected thing that will happen is this shattering and firework."
It is a reasonable lens. And a reasonable way to approach.
