I have a problem with the chamber people claiming that 90% of the people they
treat are using computers.  I would bet if you go back in there records before
dive computers (if the chamber was there and if they have the records) you
would see that 90% of the people they were treating were using tables (the
other 10% using luck and other methods).  Just because 90% of the people being
treated are using computers doesn't mean that computers are causing people to
get bent.  It may just mean more people are using computers (which is I suspect
the case).

I think we all agree that these "statistical" broadbrush statements don't
actually prove anything and that there are so many other aspects that need to
be considered (mental and physical state, dehydration, PFO etc etc etc )

I heard that 100 % of divers who got bent where using some form of diving
equipment !  :-)
