Everything I state is fact based or questioning the factual basis of claims that seem far fetched.

The problem with your posts in this thread, is you jump the gun on what "seems far fetched."

Old story told by my partial differential equations prof in undergrad.

A scientific lab put up a large tower (my memory says it was a radioastronomy type dish) and one of the neighbors started complaining that it was giving them a lousy TV signal.

The scientists chortled; the dish was purely passive, with no transmitted signal; it was an impossibility, they told the neighbor, that their TV should be affected.

But the neighbor persisted, undeterred.

This went back and forth, over time, until, exasperated, one of the scientist, said, fine, I'll bring my OWN TV over to your house, and show you, OK?

...static.

Turns out the dish was directly between the TV station transmission tower and the resident's house, and was blocking the signal.

Sometimes there are "Well, duh" effects that those involved in the science overlook.

I understand what you are saying but you are mistaken, generally, in applying it to me.

I say generally because yes I can be mistaken or “jump the gun”.

In this case, no. No one has been told not to get an MRI because of magnetic issues.

It’s ludicrous on the face if it.
