I make no bones about the fact that I am a recreational diver. Not a tech diver. I dive for relaxation and enjoyment. I use my brain all week at work and prefer that my hobbies be as enjoyable as possible.
That being said, I enjoy diving on my air computer more than I would enjoy the limits, profiles and memory that table diving would require.
I look at a dive computer the same way I look at a calculator or a gps. I can do long division by hand. But it is easier for me to just use a calculator. When I am flying, I am capable of of tracking a non-directional beacon. But it is more enjoyable and more accurate for me to use a moving map GPS.
This argument that a person should eschew the use of a computer, unless they are too stupid to use tables sounds as sensible as saying your accountant is too stupid to use a ledger book, as evidenced by the fact that he uses excel.
If you don't like technology, don't use it. But it's a little short-sighted to imply that a person's preference for taking advantage of the benefits offered by technology can only be explained by his stupidity.
