Just my own feeling here-- I think Mel's position is that you don't always know what has gone wrong and maybe by trying to figure it out, it would be to late. A person should always carry enough bail out and the proper mix to go off the loop at any time during the dive.

When something bad starts to happen, I just want to be programed to do one thing- BAIL OUT!!!!!.

Based on the fact that your bailout should be a good mix for any depth and you should be carrying enough of it, bailing out to OC is the safest thing to do. And that is what she is talking about.

A person can always take a few sanity breaths and then go back and try and sort out the loop if they so desire. At least you will survive the immediate problem if you can go to OC.
