Not dumbfuck at all. No matter how small any individual risk might seem,
you got to balance risks against benefits - we got enough risks in tech
diving without adding new ones. We know regs/valves occasionally combust,
and that when a viton o-ringed reg does the diver (or anyone standing near
if its on the surface) will get a whiff of very carcinogenic crap. So now,
what are the benefits of viton that make it worth accepting this risk,
miniscule though it might be?
