Without trying to single-out Harold, I must comment on what his statement
reveals about our _perceptions_ of dive tables and DCI. Perhaps a more apt 
statement might be:

  "...violate the tables, dive frequently and never exhibit symptoms..."

On a related note, over the last two years desktop decompression has become 
very available and affordable. I'd like to see a reputable firm or individual 
start offering some doppler training, or better, design some software that can 
interface with the detector and grade the bubbles for you. This might provide
field data that could help answer the question of why one diver gets bent while
another does not, or at least why one diver exhibits symptoms and another does
not. Comments?
