Cute. Hey, nothing wrong with being a child prodigy (err not exactly). The only problem is you got my point wrong. I did in fact state that oxygen spiking was more dangerous at the end of a long dive than at the beginning. Particularly if you've survived up to that point (i.e. all the risk is behind you on the shallow part of the dive are behind you). I certainly don't recommend doing it. But here's what I was getting it. If you line 100 monkeys up and have half of them do a dive with a spike at the beginning and half at the end, the models seem to predict that more monkeys will come back doing the spike at the end. This is very similar to the idea that you have a 1 in 36 chance of rolling a six, but having rolled a six your odds of another six are now only 1 in six. I would be very suprised if anybody actually changed their diving habits based on what I've found. But I'll put it out for whoever wants to read it. I think most people will agree I put enough caveats in. But if anybody out there finds an error in my analysis of the data or interperetation please drop me a line.
