9 Failures
Technical 1.0 DVD and 9 failures flowchart advise divers in case of unfixable failure to breathe from right (not wrong) reg with shutdown isolator and call the dive. Why not to breathe down the failure post first and switch to right reg only after it is empty?

Hey Vladimir.
Since you have no idea how much gas is left on a failed side, you can't reliably predict when it is going to run out. If you continue to breathe failed post you will eventually go OOA again and place where it happens at, might not be at all convenient (restriction, current). We choose to reduce number of variables in such situation and cut the chain of incidents rather than continue to manage the emergency over and over.
