Yeah, my objection to the conjecture/hypothesizing in this thread was the "build" aspect of things like one person asks "Was he diving solo?" and someone else says "Supposed he didn't have a light?" Then a third person says "So, he was solo diving at night, without a light?" Then fourth person says "If he was solo diving without a light then..."
That's not "accident analysis" that's rumor mongering.
Exactly...! And of course, a lot of that happens offline anyway, but once it has been "published" in a public forum, it takes on a viral life of its own.
