There are only two possible explanations for all the inspiration deaths.

1)  The unit is unsafe

2) Inspiration divers are as a group less capable divers than other 
divers.

Possibly a combination of 1 and 2 is possible.

I read through your article where you "rebut" Trey's comments.  I am 
unconvinced.  However, even if I were convinced, it still does not 
explain why people keep dying while wearing this device.

Oh, I forgot, that too is untrue.  The unit is perfectly safe, no one 
is dying, and you guys are all fantastic divers.

There is a tendency to defend a product one has been foolish enough to 
buy into, no matter how bad the product is.  It's amazing how far 
inspiration divers have taken this (those that still live).  I just 
wonder what the last thing was that went through the minds of those 
that have died.  "Oh Shit, I guess Trey was right after all...."  Nah. 
They probably never even saw it coming.
