It's already been said that you can only go direct when ATC can monitor
you on radar, so how can you go direct in a lost comm situation? If
you're lost comm, how can they vector you around traffic or warn you if
you're off track?


It's no different than losing comm while on a long range vector. Nobody
claims that's illegal, few claim it's hazardous, and many insist that's what
you're really doing while navigating by handheld GPS.
