It's just the name on the product, it isn't at all really. Bit like
100m water rated watches.

What's wrong with them?
You don't think the 100m is something to do with the depth do you? It
isn't.

Err no, that was my point - do you deliberately argue with people no
matter whether they agree with you or not?


But the 100m *is* a proper tested (well, designed and sampled) value -
the fact that most people don't understand the concept of static pressure
isn't a reason not to use it. Although maybe it should be.

But imagine a world dumbed down to the point where *everybody* understood
everything. Yuck. You could say goodbye to cars, the Internet, TV etc.
etc.
