Hi Scott.
Nobody in their right mind would say that Hogarthian config
as it exists today is perfect. They would say...
- It is very good
- It is the best available (for the types of diving
for which it is designed, which are quite broad)
- Great effort has gone into and will continue to
go into refining it.

It is an article written by JJ and reposted here that
lays out the pros and cons. If you follow the logic
and don't get distracted by what you already "know",
then it will be an interesting read. If you find
flaws in his logic or facts please pass them along so
we can learn from your insight.
Willie Mosconi said "Luck is for suckers", and he was
right. Do it right. Dive the best configuration and
technique you can find. There is still no guarantee,
but you do know your odds are better than if you hadn't.
It's all up to you -- you can be like Willie, or you
can be a dick, sucker.
