I feel a blanket statement like this linking specific technique/equipment to Insurance Liability would be a thin end of a wedge towards specifying reccomended techniques/equipment for vertical caving..something cavers have long resisted.
It wasn't a statement, it was part of a question. The recommended techniques are public domain (books etc.) and are well established - there is nothing new about this. How is it wrong to have, or use, a recommended technique?
