It also shows something else.
This was a very intelligent human being with an advanced education. She had obviously been taught correctly originally and understood it. She had obviously understood how her computer worked at some point in the past. She had obviously known how to input the nitrox mix into her computer at some point in the past. And at some point in the past, at some time between her annual dive trips, she had forgotten it. She had made what is really not a far-fetched error if you think about it objectively. If a nitrox analyzer can measure oxygen content, is it really so unthinkable that an air integrated computer might have that ability as well?
Think about that the next time you see a diver make a mistake and then have everyone fly off the handle about how miserable the original instruction must have been.
Given how many mistakes I've made over the years I can relate ... most of them were things I knew better, if I'd taken the time to really think about it ...
