Guy, you are a pompous ass who talks in circles just like your buddy Kurt
Russell. As I said to Kurt, you make my point in ways I never could.

Why don't you take your "stimulating discussion," roll it up and shove it up
your ass. It is pointless talking to a fucking wall.

And yes, I do curse and enjoy cursing. If you don't like it, filter me out,
please.

Hi Jim, Sorry to see you are giving way to the temptation of foul language,
too bad. Congratulations on keeping with it though. > So, this model you

What I think about the WKPP doesn't matter here Jim. It is just as insane to
propose that divers do what the WKPP does without knowing what they
practice, and why. It really looks like you're making my point for me here,
so thank you. > And "You are basically saying that it is ok to blow between

sounds like a duck, it can't be a duck. Duck, what duck, did you say duck? >

statement that the algorithms proved that 50/100 was better. Are we
complaining about the outcome of the point that you folks put out there?
Finally Jim, I never said that either was better, I merely pointed out the
flawed modeling, the obvious logistical advantages of one over the other. I
too hope for better modeling, as do we all, I assume. Ideally maybe some of
these elements can be incorporated into the models to make them better. It
seems to be a fact that Buhlman doesn't account for the physical reality,
and a lot of bright people are digging in to find better ways. The models
will get perfected, and who knows where, or how the breakthroughs will come.
It is incumbent upon us to analyze every aspect of what we do to help these
models along. These stimulating discussions, for better or for worse, are
part of that process. By the way, modeling is about detail, and a level of
detail that is mind boggling. We are talking about details here, and it
matters. The reality is also that it will be hard to discern what works from
what doesn't because we always make statistical observations that are
complex functions of many factors that have nothing to do with diving. --
