I'm beginning to have my doubts about the real causes for concern with
oxygen and long exposures. A lot of extrapolation and interpolation went
into developing the existing limits, and once again I'm finding these
limits discouragingly inconsistence with my own body of reality, as well
as my own reality of body (much like you and deco schedules). I'm less
comfortable with the existing answers than I ever have been before.

This is nonsense. For one thing, diving with deco on my back IS one of
those things for which I can say I know what I'm talking about. For
another thing, everyone (except Carl) who reads my messages knows that my
information comes with the caveat of:

I see the results of people not being careful enough about the 
decompression portion of the dive.  Ask Dennis about this.

P.S. You give the best advice of anyone on here, but that doesn't mean 
that I won't disagree with you when I disagree with you.

Oh, and by the way, for the emulators out there, once again:
