Gil,

This is one of the purest forms of bullshit in existance.

This is a lie that is being propogated  by dive equipment
manufacturers, dive shops, and dive training agencies to separate
the diving public from their hard earned money.

Ignition of pure oxygen is only a problem at pressures OVER 10,000
psig.

NOAA and other agencies and individuals have been partial filling
cylinders using pure oxygen for better than 50 years as well as using
standard off the shelf regulators  WITHOUT  failure of any of these
devices due to filling or breathing pure oxygen.
