Scubawookiee:
(1) The manuals for the mighty Shearwater computers (Petrel/Petrel 2 + Perdix) all state very early on that it is a question of when (not if) they will fail, that the devised have inherent bugs that even Shearwater haven't found / fixed and that the decompression calculations are effectively guesswork -- which I'd say is an unacceptable parameter or programming paradigm or whatever you want to call it.
Click to expand...

So a computer manufacturer warning divers that the computers might suffer a bug is unacceptable? I'd say that's an inherent risk with any/all electronic devices and shouldn't even need to be said.

....but a computer purposefully pitching a fit is okay?

I'm not sure my logic is flexible enough to follow that.
