Speaking of cognitive dissonance, I find it interesting that people have no issues with maintaining a stop, but can't ride a deco ceiling (e.g. maintain a higher stop). You don't have to "hug" the ceiling and be perfect within inches, but certainly it's not hard to. Just like you don't have to hug a stop.
I've said this before and I'll repeat it again: I'd love for Shearwater to give us an option to not be "penalized" by going a little past a stop as long as we're definitely below the CEIL.
Here's an example from last week (sorry about the reflection from the sun):

Note that my STOP is 20ft, CEIL is 11ft and I'm still hanging at 20ft. It's the same reason I set my last stop to 10ft, even though I don't usually do it at 10ft (especially in rough seas), so I don't get the darn flashing red screen!
Now that there's some literature on this, maybe Shearwater will change their stance and release a firmware update. I'll send them an email.
