The only problem here is that there is no such thing as a proper marking.

Therefore, any tank marking is improper, and, by your definition, will 
kill.

Therefore, with your logic, no tank should be marked, because as  long as 
it's not marked improperly, it won't kill.

Tanks don't kill, the gas in them doesn't kill, markings, whether proper 
or improper don't kill.

Divers breathing the wrong gas can kill, but that has nothing to do with 
tanks or the markings on them.

As it happens, I follow your conclusion exactly. My tanks are unmarked, 
and will remain that way.

Go ahead, pick a tank.

I would suggest that you know what's in your tank before you drop below 
the surface, but whether you do or not is completely up to you.

Darwin won't hold anyone else responsible, and that's as it should be.
