Is this the same George? I certainly prefer this demeanor.

Now my question. You (IMHO, deservatively) slam Mount, et. al. for diving
enriched air at 170 ft., etc. (PPO2 = 1.4atm, certainly makes sense to me)
But where do we get "appropriate" limits for various mixes? The real
question that I have concerns the max air depth. I.e., why 130 ft? Why not
100 ft or 150 ft? The PPO2 limit would be 190-200 ft.
What is the basis of a lower limit?

On a related subject, has anyone done experiments to attempt to measure the
degree of Nitrogen Narcosis? For example, reaction time measurements in a
chamber? It would be very interesting to see the shape of an imparement
curve.
