"Every discussion that I have seen, or been involved in, is careful to point out..."
Perhaps you should be more careful to point out what I said.
"some are more qualified than others to dive solo, but any suggestion that you are safer solo is plain hyperbole."
I never said solo diving is safer. I was merely pointing out that whenever someone dies, some on this board and others try to make it sound as if the cause of death was solo diving. There was a couple who drowned at Catalina a few years ago, and the diver who died at the rigs earlier this year was in a buddy team, albeit not a very good one.
