Good point -- but especially consider that emergency situations will never
be as well learned as ordinary tasks, so you have to plan the max impairment
level for a level lower than what might be acceptable for ordinary tasks.  I
think this is the big point most agencies and divers miss -- they ignore the
task and stress loading that go with handling emergencies.  (Betts and his
50/50 bailout/deco approach sure don't get it...)
