<< do you think the Poseidon's contributed to his death?  >>

John:

I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been in my first paragraph.   What I
was trying to do was use facitiousness to make a point.   No, I do not believe a
Posedion (assuming it was present) had anything to do with the Doria death, but
my point is that just because one particular model of gear (in this case the OMS
wings which are the poster-child of everything WKPP doesn't like) happens to be
repeatedly involved in a dive fatality, it is no more indicative of this item
being the cause or contributor to the fatality than the Odin is (which is
probably much more present at fatalities than the OMS wings will ever be).    I
see too many false syllogisms of this kind being made by technical community at
times, and it is time that it be toned down a little until actual nonsectarian
proof has been accumulated to the contrary.

Hopefully this is a little clearer now.   Thanks for the question.

Tod
