Frankly, I think you should try to make up a condition that refutes your

My supposition is that it is possible for charged particle noise
to exist without corona. That inclusive supposition cannot be
refuted by one condition. That supposition can only be refuted
by all conditions which is not possible to implement in reality.

My type of supposition: Not all cars are white.

This cannot be disproved by only one example.

The other sides supposition is that charged particle noise is
*always* accompanied by corona. All it takes is one example to
refute that exclusive assertion.

Their type of supposition: All cars are white.

This can be disproved by only one example.

Why #14 with rounded ends? Because it supports your position? Why not
suppose smaller wire and sharper points?

Seems you misunderstand. I'm not saying corona never occurs.
I'm saying it is possible for charged particle
noise to exist without corona occurring. Do you understand the
difference between an exclusive statement and an inclusive
statement? It's the other side making the exclusive assertions.
All I have to do is present one example where charged particle
noise exists without corona. That case may be a #14 wire with
rounded ends.

I have made no exclusive statements. If there is corona in
99.9% of the cases, the other side still loses the argument.
It is the opposition that has made the exclusive statement
that charged particle noise is *always* accompanied by corona.

My supposition is that charged particle noise is NOT always
accompanied by corona.
