Helium is just a tool in the tool box. It is not a panacea for all the potential risks a diver may encounter nor is it a license to exceed one's own limits or act imprudently. In the same vein, helium is also not required to remain within ones own limits or act prudently.
nobody said it was. it doesn't cure stupid but it helps...
