Good point, I think that is a very dangerous mentality, too. Although for me being a good buddy is about knowing my partner and making sure THEY ar okay. I know the air consumption habits compared to mine, as well as other habits. Hopefully the reverse is also true! Not sure if that attitude came from training or from myself.
I think if you check yourself and your buddy (and I will go up and look at their computer and gauges), and they do the same thing, you should be doubly good. Especially if there should be a problem that is not immediately full blown.
