Of course the PC generated tables are wrong!  It's a model approximating
what happens in our body.  It is *more right* than most wrist computers.

If you're too stupid/careless/useless to copy tables properly, or commit
them to memory, or read them properly underwater, or understand them, then
you are too stupid/careless/useless to dive.

Diving isn't for everyone.

If you rely on electronics, you will be let down sooner or later.
Bottom time can be approximated by your gas supply if your watch/BT fails.
