The WKPP's safety record and success in itself means nothing.

The statement that you have personell experienced in/working
on all possible problems of both theoretical and practical
nature related to aspects of diving (you didn't write this, it's
my assumption based on your own writings below) is the important
information in this whole thing.  *If* the assumption is correct
it shows that WKPP's safety record and overall success were by
design and not by chance.


Contrast this with "trust me" arguments and you'll
see why I lump your assurances, Jack's arguments against
electronics and similar arguments without a foundation in
current day facts in with the campaign utterings of Pat Buchanen.


So despite your assurances that the WKPP is "real diving",
and that you possess equipment that qualify as "best",
from here it looks like it's diving based on considerable
insight and continued development based firmly on science.
Maybe even first and foremost science and "real diving"
second.

Bring them on line.  Let's get the facts.
