Spot on
Settlement of the scrubber in a horizontal position may leave a loose fill or even a physical hole up the side of a scrubber (something the design of the rEvo scrubber seems more prone to IMHO)
Mainly its clumping of the sorb or something like the repacking incident which leaves a path through the scrubber of spent lime.
Whilst the path may be small C02 has a cumulative effect so will gradually build up during the dive.

Mark,
sorry to say this but you are talking through your arse..
The each rEVo scruber is relatively short so packing is quite easy.. if you follow the proper packing procedure it packs very quickly and consistently.. if there is any settling (very doubtful if you follow the packing procedure) the spring could easily take up any space that has formed..
the short length probably makes it one of the most consitent scrubbers to pack and having 2 scrubbers make it highly unlikely that there will be a single path in BOTH scrubers to let gas bypass....
