I for one think more coverage would allow me to swim faster.
What if masters men were given the choice?

You are being selective here. Goggles are a device which aids speed and buoyancy during a race. So you now want goggles banned too? I admire your desire to see absolute purity in our sport.
Bad example. They aren't buoyant (at least, mine always sink, sometimes to my chagrin) and their biggest effect is in training, not racing. Caps would be a better example.
Kirk is just noting the rule. Caps and goggles are specifically allowed (as are "FINA-approved" swimsuits, actually). Unlike the cheating super-suits, the type of goggle or cap one chooses is not likely to make a significant difference in the outcome. Certainly not the 5-6 seconds per 100 that you claim.
Not as much flotation as rectal air injection.
You've tested this? Data, please!
