And yet A2 (DCS~5%) looks very similar to VPM-B (as you would expect two deep stop profiles to look). Also A1 (DCS~1.6%) and GF are more similar.
For review,
1. Supersaturation Heatmap -- The heat map supersaturation similarities between A2 and VPM-B are self-evident.

Total Integral Supersaturation. Clearly A2 (DCS~5%) and VPM-B are closer. And A1 (DCS~1.6%) and GF are closer as well. The ISS of A2 is about 25% higher than A1, VPM is about 19% higher, and GF is about 5% higher than A1. The difference in ISS between A2 and A1 is the best explanation of the difference in observed DCS according to the NEDU scientists.

3.
Supersaturation Exposure by Tissue Compartment. It's clear that both A2 and VPM-B protect compartments 1-3 similarly, especially compared to A1 and GF. The cost of this "protection" is the ballooning up of the exposure in the slower tissue compartments 9-12. Clearly A2 and VPM-B would be expected to perform more alike than A1 and GF.

There are other similarities that have been posted. But I think this clearly establishes A2 and VPM-B as similar. About the same thing was said by Dr. Doolette in
this presentation -- see minute 34 to 38.
I wrote above in
post #212.. "
..., it's your home made and invalid measuring / comparison methods and graphs at the center of this problem. These have been used to widely promote a fallacy position."
I was referring to the diagrams Kevin created in the post quoted above. Those are the basis of a great deal of invalid assumptions.
1/ The VPM-B+7 that is used in the diagrams above, does not exist, no one can make it, you cannot buy it. It's something that was created by Kevin for this purpose only. It's a stretched out exaggeration, and used to make a non-existent comparison. We are not allowed to just make stuff up.
2/ The use of heatmaps are a relative measure but not an absolute measure. These maps have no dimensions, and its easy to be selective to cause them to show what ever you like. We must keep to standard comparison methods, using standard dimensions and baselines.
3/ Kevin's has created his own ISS methods: see
post #167. His ISS method has not been tested, proven, or shown to be valid or fit for this purpose.... We are not allowed to just make up measures.
The above invalid information and methods, is assisting in the promotion of a fallacy position.
***************************
This is what happens when we use real science measures, real plans, and valid comparison methods:
A look at the similarity of supersaturation patterns.
It can be seen above, that the A2 and tech profiles are not related. The 40/75 approach and VPM-B +3 are quite similar.
Careful readers may notice that the scientist's involved have not offered, shown or presented a scientific or mathematical connection from nedu test to VPM-B, or to any other tech profiles. Instead there are only numerous opinion based explanations and theories made. I have shown and discussed those in
post #116
