I agree completely, once I plan a deco dive, if I dive the plan I have a ceiling and handle it as a "technical" dive. All I was getting at is that a grey area of time/depth pairs exist that one person may call a recreational dive and yet others may, legitimately, see as a technical dive.
diving a single tank with planned deco means diving without any options but to bust deco if something goes wrong with your single. It's bone dead stupid
