not to split hairs or start a pissing match, BUT your electronics could fail and leave you not noticing until its too late as well.
you could also get hit by a truck crossing the road on the way to the dive site.
but that doesnt change anything either.

I'm not convinced that there is enough hard evidence on failure mode analysis to say one method is better than another.
there is - read up on cell failure modes.

Yes, doing a dil check every few minutes may be distracting during a dive, but practically speaking it will work, which is my point.
yes it will work - but that doesnt make it the safest method. Lets be clear here Im not slagging off the Pelagian as it was previously mu understanding (and now confirmed by Andy) that the idea is to run 2 cells and a 3rd independant one from say a VR3 - and I like the dil verification stuff. What Im against was your comment that 'hey we only need 1 cell'

mCCR is constantly trickling O2 at or close to your metablic rate anyway, so it'd be next to impossible to go so long as to not notice the PO2 drop on a dead sensor...you'd notice right away. You should be looking at your display more often that that if you are manually adding O2 now and then.
hyperoxia is the concern not hipoxia
