How can the WKPP (I am NOT talking about GUE here) be not demonstrative of DIR when the director and his dive buddy basically created the concept as it exists in its present form?
It seems like you want to take the one thing that the WKPP claims as an advantage OUT of the equation and then say "Look...its no different than anyone else".
THEY WOULD PROBABLY AGREE...yes, if you rip out their support team, and their protocols, and the funding that makes a highly uniform team act with a unified set of responses...then yes, their record would be no different than anyone else's.
Basically, you seem to be saying that "if you take away the things that specifically differentiate DIR from other diving philosophies, you get a record that is not that impressive."
OK, but that's hardly a fair analysis...
