Those who understand gas laws do not shake or roll the bottle. It is just a joke

I understand gas laws and I don't agree with you.

I do agree though that external cooling of a tank whilst it's being filled too fast is highly undesirable. It actually stresses the tank material more than letting it heat and cool naturally, though filling too fast is the main factor in shortening the life of a tank (especially an aluminum one).

That's OK, You shake and roll, and you'll be happier for it. I'll let the gas mix by itself, and I'll be happy. Neither one of us will likely change the others mind, and that's OK, at the end of the day, we will dive our mixes, be happy, and life will be good. We don't have to agree, especially about something so trivial.

Exactly, or at least I agree with you wholeheartedly, although I don't know if fast filling shortens the tank life more than over filling. I try to do neither.
