As you were
Since we're playing this, can I be ironic?
DIR is a style of diving that is a result of cherry picking what is the best available.

Having said that, many people do that, plagarise or flatter by nicking ideas.
DIR is one such combination of what was there (albeit a very good one), that was adopted as a standard by a group if divers (WKPP) then it was branded and marketed.
Fair play, a niche was seen in a market and someone filled it, capitalism and the American dream at work.
Does this mean that it's the best for all sorts of diving?
I can think of some rare occasions where it's not.
