NetDoc:Both you and Mike are far better divers than I am. Your humility is an example to all.
What did he say to elicit a comment like that? He stated a fact...that computers don't think. In fact I doubt there are many pieces of software that when tested (like regression testing or something) prove out error free. In addition transducers fail. In manufacturing, it's not uncommon to verify transducers or the machines that house them every day or every shift if they measure something critical. Depending on the type of transducer they don't always fail in such a way that's obvious. They just yield the wrong number which under certain conditions may be completely believeable. Sometimes the failure is even intermittent which can really get you.
Gosh, then he said he uses helium to control narcosis. That seems to work about the best for me.
I don't see where any one said they were a better diver than anybody else though you seem pretty concerned about that.
I have to ask Pete, what happened to make you so rude. I don't remember you always being that way...maybe I just didn't notice.
