Never make assumptions Jim.

If you had read what I wrote, I specifically stated I was questioning
the situation where a diver WAS NOT WEARING A DRYSUIT.

So yes, I was speficially (attempting to) discuss the merits
of a second bladder in the BC compared (in place of) to a drysuit.

If you read what I write sometimes, you'd see you were refuting the wrong
argument ;-)

I picked the subject, so let's finish it... the subject is this.....

Diver is diving wet.  Is the backup bladder a benefit or a liability.
The conditions are such that a dry suit is not required but is
an alternate form of backup buoyancy.  The diver wants _a_ form of
backup buoyancy.  How does the backup bladder in OMS wings present
more failure points than a drysuit?

compare and contrast.  500 words or less.

Are we on the same topic now? :-)
