The choice actually offered was "other, please explain".

Thus I chose (X) Hogarthian, and tendered the to-wit.

Well, then it would help if you'd buy a clue before you go wading into a discussion labeling things you don't understand "un-safe" ... because what you're really "tendering" is that you don't have to be DIR to behave like a GI3 wannabe ... :no

... Bob (Grateful Diver)

I would have have said Hogarthian with DIR tendencies, but I don't think I want any part of what nereas is trying to sell.

Yo momma!

(thats called cutting to the chase)

So, what you're saying is there's no logical defense for your assertions that there are "unsafe DIR principles."


Got it.

Got it.

I am saying that rather than go thru the usual one-sided litanies culminating in personal attacks I will simply rather cut to the chase and insult yo' momma!

Looking at the voting at this point ,,,taking into account the varying 'other' explanations....it does appear about 50/50.

Or 33/33/33 on ScubaBoard. Very small sample, so far, however. Therefore the standard deviation is likely to cancel the entire statistic.

I think one thing this poll shows is the extreme preponderance of DIR divers on Scubaboard, compared with their paucity in the real world.

Apparently more than 1 in 3 technical divers on SB are DIR, I wonder what this percentage would be if you did the same survey on beaches and boats across the world? 1 in 100?

Given the close clumping of the response rates, the standard deviation is low

Perhaps you meant to make a point about the low sampling rate being unrepresentative of the wider population?
