No problem, halemanō,
I personally would like all those who propose that a 6 lb SS backplate will allow you to take 6 lbs off your weight belt
Not if the most streamlined doesn't end up as shark bait!...They bust myths, but they also have to entertain their audience. Comparing streamlining between BC's and BP/W's would make for possibly the most yawn-inducing episode ever.
No problem, halemanō,
I personally would like all those who propose that a 6 lb SS backplate will allow you to take 6 lbs off your weight belt, and that somehow this is a net saving in effort, should step onto a scale with both a BP and an BC and see what the difference truly is. Of course the BP will put the weight above your lungs where it belongs. But imagine how much more so for a diver wearing a pointy SS diving helmet! The weight and the streamlining alone will surely allow you to out-race a marlin, or at least a stroke.
