I couldn't disagree more strongly. The use of nitrogen in PCPs, regardless of its particular properties, would represent a departure from the safe, easy-to-understand rule of 'diver's quality air only', and that is a potentially disasterous departure. When we step away from the safest system through experimentation with gasses other than air, the potential for life-changing injury or death outweighs any percieved gains. I say this after personally witnessing the aftermath of PCPs filled with oxygen and oxy-acetylene, and the injuries this caused. Make no mistake, if we ever sanction the use of gasses other than air, sooner or later someone will be seriously injured or killed.
If you don't know enough to judge - don't judge
