OK, whatever, in that case you don't need ditcheable weight so why 
bother.  Fine.  *You* come up with a reason why you need ditcheable 
weight then.  I knew this would happen as soon as I came up with an 
example.  You're attacking the example, not the crux of the argument, 
which remains.  I can't think of a good reason to ditch the weight 
either, but I can imagine that if I'm in a situation where I would 
think about ditching weight, it might not be an all out emergency 
yet.  As far as deco obligation, maybe you are on your way down, 
don't have a deco obligation yet.

You know what, I don't have time for this.  I need to get packing 
'cause I'm going diving.  If you guys don't have enough brains to 
figure out that *if* you think that you need ditcheable weight you 
might want to do so in a situation that could be an emergency but 
isn't one yet, then I give up.  I stand by my point though, so far no 
one has come up with a reason to convince me that I'm wrong.  In the 
begginings of a CF, ditching the weight might save you.  If that 
weight costs $800, you are much less likely to just say "the heck 
with it" and dump it.  It's pretty simple really.
