I would agree to most of what you said except for two points:
a) I think solo diving has one safety advantage (AFAIC): it makes me more aware of the entire dive and I am more concerned about checking gear and being self sufficient at all times that when I dive with a buddy. I know, someone will say that all this awareness and concern can be had with buddy diving as well, but for me, it just is not the case.
b) While I sort of agree with the Nitrox position you stated in this post, I still believe that Nitrox can make your diving safer. Just think of unexpected hits.
