I have no idea what you're trying to say here. You seem to be mixing up deco stops generated by your diving software/computer, which the OP was inquiring about, with checklists.I'm not a technical-diver, but I'd say the advantage of having specific stops for tech-diving is it's easier to follow a routine or check-list, and there are much greater risks, if you don't plan or deco properly. You could probably do something like make the "staircase" profile a little less harsh, by adding more stops, but shorter time at each stop.
Can you cite any authority or study that even remotely suggests something like this?Fatigue after a dive could have numerous implications. Perhaps you weren’t using Nitrox. Perhaps you weren’t hydrated the night before? Perhaps your fitness level is wanting? If you have accidentally exceeded the No Decompression Limit while at 100 ft, you may want to consider deco ratio on the fly (risk mitigated) by ascending to 40 ft and remain there for 3-minutes, then ascend to 30 ft and remain there for 3-minutes, then complete your Safety Stop for 3-minutes at 16 ft. Discontinue diving for 3-hours minimum.
Obedience to authority is not a moral necessity. To even remotely suggest something like this is based on years of experience. Make observation of PADI DSAT tables.Can you site any authority or study that even remotely suggests something like this?
So you can just make up whatever wild thing you want and just say we don't have to have any basis other than pulling it out of our butt? What do PADI tables have to do with it--they are not remotely close to what you said to do.Obedience to authority is not a moral necessity.

What is your Gradient Factor? And does it vary for certain dives?Pretty much sums up deep stops for you and why they have gone out of style:
