When I first started looking into tech diving incidents to see if some
lessons could be learned, I was surprised by the stonewalling.

I'm not surprised any more.  Crap like this is the usual response to any
reported problem, so very few people report anything that is less than
perfect.

It's a damn shame since under these conditions very little can be learned
without an autopsy being involved.  Even in those cases, the report is laced
with bullshit to keep the jackals at bay.
