While not inevitable, there is certainly nothing "embarrassing" about 
it- any more than any other illness. 

It strikes me as a dangerous position, in that it could lead one to 
conceal a dcs hit.

Your second sentence leads me to believe that embarrassing may not have 
been the word you meant. I don't understand your second sentence.

It is easy to dive "correctly" and get bent. There is even a term for it.

They are referred to as "unearned" hits.

If embarrassing is truly what you meant to say, and if you choose to 
stick to that position, then I have nothing more to say, and will withdraw 
from this conversation, with appropriate apologies tendered all around.
