You miss here the lung defect ( cyste ) I mentioned. There are at least
2 cases I know of which are well documented.

Otherwise I completely agree with you,only the adverb "undeserved", when
used in combination with DCS hits, has since long changed its meaning
from "not understood" 
to signifying the the same ( and miniscule more) cuases you mentioned.
Really no need to fill in here. It is self understood. At least this
side of the pond. And even with DAN people , trust me.


> The rest of what you wrote is complete bullshit.

Which part specificly, and why ?
regards
Matthias
