i know i shouldn't wade into this train-wreck of a thread, but since we're now moving the goalposts to thermal stress, just want to point out that for the NEDU study, it was a wet pot dive with the temperature held at 86f/30c +-2f. thermal stress remained constant and consistent across the entirety of the dive for both profiles.
FACT: No deep stops in the test - only shallow stops.
Go find who ever makes really really shallow stop models, and tell them the about it - its their problem - not mine.
