This lack of a relationship between AI and deco algorithm failure seems to be a fact, not a theory.
With all of the evidence pointing to a conclusion that AI does not affect deco reliability, the concerns here must be deemed theoretical concerns that should not block implementation of this feature.
Neither of these statements are at all accurate. There is NO lack of relationship between deco algo and AI implementation as the same computer has to run both features simultaneously. Period. It's how these things work. A crash in the AI-side will cause a crash in the deco side. If you look through the Aeris A300CS failures and many of the Suunto failures, you'll see that a mid-dive lockout was often pre-empted by an AI-failure. Confirming that it was AI-caused, however, is impossible. What IS obvious, though, is that added complexities (like AI) add potential failure points and hangups in the computer. The more that there is to crash, the more likely that it will. Period. Hollis DG03s had this issue for a while, and a firmware update SUPPOSEDLY fixed it. Mine had it, so I can confirm.
As for "All evidence pointing".....you provided no evidence at all. There's nothing pointing that they're separate. The fact that one processor is inputting all items to one screen means that they ARE connected. Period. The fact that one piece of firmware has to take inputs from an extra piece of hardware means that they do, in fact, interfere with eachother.
