Question rich.
Whats inclines you to think that Ar DCS recompression treatment is in any
way more complicated than N2/He treatment.

We DO know for a fact that Ne DCS is a REAL treatment problem, as Ne DCS
just does not respond well to conventional recompression.

"It is not the critic that counts, nor the one who points out how the strong
man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is mared with
sweat and dust and blood; who errs and comes short again and again, who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a
worthy cause; who if he wins knows the triumph of high achievment; and who,
if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall
never be with those Cold and Timid souls that know neither Victory or Defeat"
