Tod, the problem is that you can not "feel"  the narcosis at the
shallower depths - this makes it so much more dangerous, but yes, the
impairment is enough at 40 feet to make you consistently lose at chess
to the guy at 0 feet. 

The point is that the gas is no good for diving, and the deeper you take
it the worse it gets.

The fact that IANTD thinks they can "teach" deep air diving is petently
ludicrous. As the participants in this farce come out with their lame
reasoning as to why they do it, what I have been saying becomes more and
more apparent.
