Sorry, I don't see any inconsistency.
Penetrating a wreck without the right training can be dangerous.
Making your first ever free ascent from 100 ft., without any training or preparation is likely foolish.
What you need to remember is that a 30 ft, and often a 60 ft free ascent was normal during training. People were taught how to it. Also ... everyone could swim well and most were accomplished free divers. The people I learned to dive from had a rule of thumb, "don't go any deeper on scuba than you'd been on a breath hold dive." ... that meant that you had lots of margin. And we knew that we were going OOA, that was part of the plan, it did not come on by surprise.
