I don't mean to sound "cynical" - but what ELSE are decompression models =
if not "arbitrary". They are certainly not based on human physiology - =
but simply mathematical expressions that attempt to create results that =
(mostly) match real-life testing.

Heck, if I developed a model based on the moon-phase - it would be valid =
if it happens to WORK!

So, why not use the "Pyle Model of Deep Stops". He gave you the =
algorithm - it's easy enough to implement. It is based on real-life =
experience and it is a mathematical expression. It's a ALREADY a model - =
you just gotta use it. In my mind, the Pyle model is no more or less =
"valid" than anything that's based on Haldane's "intuition".
