I concur... especially if we're talking "new nitrox divers" here since we
are talking about EAN32/EAN36 with MOD of ~130/110' and an EAD considerably
less.  If you don't get narced on air at 130/110, then why should you feel
narced on a shallower EAD(N2)?  Feel less tired after the dive maybe, but
narcosis?  I think not.
