Holy crap the "logic" used on this board to try and refute my points is weak. It is 100% clear that ya'll know the tents are a form of cheating, and desperately want your Paula's and Ritz's to not have to give them out and go back to being dusted.

Well first of all, how is "synthetic" air different from actual high altitude air?
It's different. It adds more nitrogen to the air.
"Rather than simulate altitude with low air pressure, the altitude tent remains at normal air pressure, substituting low concentration of oxygen for low pressure. While normal air contains 20.9% oxygen independent of altitude, the air in an altitude tent contains as little as 12% oxygen (the remainder being nitrogen). "

Of course you would think that, because you desperately want alt tents to be legal. It may be easier to die from epo abuse, but one could certainly overdo the altitude tents (put them at too high of an altitude, and use them too long). You've head of altitude sickness, right?
