Christina- I think the point Bruce was trying to make is all deco algorythms are theory until someone is willing to risk their body to test it and prove it works. Yes RGBM has been around for a while but then HG Wells predicted flight to the moon. Using your logic HG Wells should be credited with moon travel. The WKPP and others were Bruce's geanie pigs. They subjected themselves to dives using RGBM tables and then got out of the water and had blood drawn and doppler tests, over and over and over. They got into chambers and did wild rides with sensors taped all over their bodies. I don't know about you, Christina, but just the thought of being an experimental tables crash-test-dummy makes my adams apple bob. An awful lot of work went into this research and Bruce deserves to get a return on his investment. Trying to force him to release the code gratis using some "public domain" loophole is really pathetic, in my opinion.
