A huge percentage of technical training and practices is based on understanding and mastery of the added equipment.
At least that's my take.
Perhaps I jumped to conclusions, but remember our OP is the same self proclaimed newbie that's pondering using doubles from the start due to their "added" safety.

Yeah, I think that this comes down to semantics - I just liked the idea of promoting the kind of thoughtfulness and planning that you learn in tech training for divers of all levels.
Then again, I hadn't read his other thread about the doubles...
Stuart, is that really you?

How about instead of promoting a "tech diving" mindset, we promote a "proper dive planning" mindset for recreational dives.
Yeah, semantics...
