--Boundary_(ID_oGQkNgHAZmhXTNuhsaU2BA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit 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 love so much, what makes you think it is accurate? After checking the posts, I don't think I said that. > Certainly the track record of this model sucks, or we would not have > well-used chambers wherever there's water. You are suggesting some other holy grail? It's hard to see any point to this statement Jim, please be clear. > And do you really think that the WKPP fellows would operate on a flawed > model, doing hundreds of dives a year? You are insane if you believe that. 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 25% and 33% of > your deco, according to what the algorithm specifies" what are you talking > about here? I have no idea. Gee, I'm sorry to hear that your memory, and/or reading skills have deteriorated to this point, do you think it might be the result of those profiles you are promoting? Actually, this might be some of the legendary denial exhibited by many WKPP promoters. It looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it can't be a duck. Duck, what duck, did you say duck? > The gradient model requires that you start your deco earlier, it does not > get you out of the water earlier on typical wreck bounce dives.

Notwithstanding the fact that most would agree that the poo-poo'ing was initiated by the 50/100 camp, this all relates to the 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. -- Guy --Boundary_(ID_oGQkNgHAZmhXTNuhsaU2BA) Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <pre>Hi Jim,</pre> <pre>Sorry to see you are giving way to the temptation of</pre> <pre>foul language, too bad.
