Your judgement is rather harsh and I wonder on what you based it. There is some correlation between dynamic and depth diving, based on the formula CWT = DYF/2.5 (m). Yet, this is purely orientative and should not applied to beginners nor seasoned freedivers, where additional factors such as equalisation and fear/axiety (of getting "down") can significantly reduce the performance, for newbies, or are completely neglijable for the top divers.
You may find a 20m CW dive "weak" but dont put it down in written as you might just put town as well people who just started the sport and last thing they want to see it's being patronised.
it's your opinion sure but i'm for letting out the possitive vibes when it comes to encouraging others to join our ranks.
