Rebreathers and scientific diving proceedings 2016

On first read specific subjects that are well known (to me), defined and easy to verify
Some how this "Advert" of an article shows way too much inaccuracy.

On specific topics it is interestingly vague on specific definable (but uncomfortable points)
On dates claimed that one would expect to be specific as well as accurate, it is way to vague.
And on specific claims made, simply inaccurate.

Overall IMHO an American centric article that once again invokes the 800 pound gorilla in the corner.

An American expression for a person or organisation so powerful that it can act without regard
to the claims of others, or truth.

"Drink the Cool Aid" is the other expresion that comes to mind. Others may disagree LOL

Ah the generous Mr W Pollock Phd- I wonder if work will notice if I print out all the 277 pages in colour.

Hello Iain,

Call me sensitive, but I have two papers in this proceedings document and I would not characterise either of them as lacking accuracy or American-centric. I personally think this is a very valuable document. It is the ONLY place you will find Gavin Anthony's data on gas density and CO2 retention published. Worth the price of admission for that alone.

Why? it's been discussed before ad nauseam on here YD, RBW yada yada yada
Repeating inaccuracy again and again and again is pretty poor. But is fits the agenda.

But to my mind worst than that is repeating the correction. Once should have been enough
In the words of Lenin "Lies repeated often enough, becomes truth"

Given time I trust at some point you may ask yourself if you indeed like this "Cool Aid" scuba circus.

With my sincere apologise to those sensitive souls amongst us who to my mind have been dragged unknowingly into this
in order to jack up the "credibility show" aspects of the presentation of said circus. Iain M

Any chance of letting us know what the agenda is?

I find it ironic that you make a claim of this paper having 'way too much inaccuracy' without providing one shred of evidence to backup your claim, while at the same time the very paper that you criticise is bulging with academic references that back it up.

Hardly ironic but staggering non the less. Who would have thought.
As you say bulging with academic references and yet they still manage get the basic facts wrong.
Despite clear concise and repeatable evidence to the contrary and repeated "proof" being shown and discussed time after time yada yada yada

Roll up, Roll up, the "Cool Aid Circus" is in town............... again.

When you are posting about areas in which you can be authoritative your contributions are valuable and worthy of attention. However, there are times, and I feel this is one of them, where you seem to have joined the folk who cry "Let's Take Back Control” and “We Want Our Country Back!” or even "Make America Great Again".

Yet more baseless accusations. Simply back up your accusation with facts. If not, your post is about as credible as "lets make America great again"

Dear me, that’s a bit strong!!
