Should RBs turn on automatically if you enter water with electonics off?

It is reassuring the hear from so many perfect perfect divers out there, who never make a mistake and never get it wrong.

If this is true what's this thread all about, as there will clearly never be any incidents anyway.

That's the funniest thing I've read here in awhile .

Yeah... that level of perfection surprises me a bit.

On another note: I never did get an answer
from the "Divers' Responsibility" crowd as to
whether they were advocating no-auto-activate...
a) just for themselves.
-or-
b) for all rebreather divers.

Given that Diver's Responsibility has the lead in the poll, I wonder which of the above is more popular?

[addited]I was thinking I didn't want people limitting my choices when I first posted this.
Maybe a better way think about it is, there's a market for diff levels of auto-activation: none, warning, full.
That would let people make their own choices.
And it will be interesting, if a bit morbid, to see how incidents correlate w/this poll for the long term.[/addited]

I don't care what anyone else chooses, so long as they don't cram their decision down my throat.
