Just recapping.  Thanks.  It helps, for me anyway, if I re-write.  Kinda sets 
it in my mind.

This is true.  And I am willing to listen.  And try things, presented 
correctly, which by the way, you have done a good job of, in this discussion.

But, could this not be true in any circumstance?  Don't people get bent doing 
all the right things?

Girls have more fat. Fat is harder to offgas. It may have as little as one
capillary per cc , vs. considerably more than that for lean mass. Fat itself
gets bent, which is merely annoying, but it acts as a "battery" for gas,
offgassing for some time after a dive, so if you do have bubbles in surrounding
