    In this case it wasn’t a middle finger to regulation, because no regulation existed. It was a middle finger to the science behind certifying the craft for ad-depth pressures. Additionally, these craft are used in international waters, where no regulatory body has jurisdiction.

      Yeah. I think a lack of respect and understanding of science is a big problem these days. Sure it may not always get things right the first time, but science is always willing to update and adapt based on evidence.
