Sometimes people will deliberately breath the pony because they have
this idea that they need a "travel mix".  I see two big problems with
this.  First, there are very few dives deep enough to really need a
travel mix and second, when people get task-loaded, they forget to
switch regulators.  Ever put something on the stove then get a
phone call only to realize you burned your food a few minutes later?
The same thing happens underwater where the consequences of forgetting
to switch regulators are a lot worse then burnt food.
