removing soffit insulation

Fortunately, I can crawl in easy enough. My roof has a steep pitch. I still have to crawl to get to the very the edges, but it's not so bad.

It's always bothered me that roofers let nails poke through the roof. It's not tidy to have nails sticking through like that. Oh well.

My neighbor tells me that since my soffits aren't vented that the insulation over them shouldn't matter. Is he right about that? If there aren't any soffit vents, there can't be any air-flow, right?

I have no ridge vents either. The vents are in the gables at either end of the attic.
