Good logical response based on the experience of 99% of the kayaking world.

I respect Nick's opinion on this but the kayak world uses bulkheads and hatches and has for a long time and successfully.
If you're worried about a disaster, then, carry a gps, VHS radio, and cell phone in a bag, carry flares and use float bags, along with your bulkheads and practice your techniques and rescues daily and never paddle alone. And carry a spare paddle.

Hatches and bulkheads work, period.
