This is interesting, but I think there are some definitional things
going on here, too.  According to the folks at NMRI, the definition of
"risk" they are using is not the same that you or I would normally
use.

That is, if we say "50% risk" that means that on any given dive, I
have a 1/2 chance of suffering DCI.  However, that is not the
definition they gave.  I'll have to dig it up, but it is most annoying
to have to redefine risk.
