You know, how many of you guys have actually read your MiniOx I manual?
+-2% is what the sensor is good for.  That's 4% total, which
is either pretty scary, or pretty indicative of the default conservatism
that's built into modern tables and deco algorithms.

The fact that it also quotes such potential "skew" factors
as 0.000X% for a Helium component is *such* a joke, in light
of the overall precision.
