art gets his info from reading abstracts... that figures. by the way, that
abstract doesn't say:

the wires in
braiding act like insulated wires.

as art states, what it says is "the standard braid of the shield used had
the same properties as a braid made with insulated wires." these are not
equivalent statements. indeed a simple resistance test would instantly tell
the difference. without knowing the range of frequencies and 'properties'
that were measured in the braid you can't just make a blanket statement that
"the wires in the braiding act like insulated wires". try reading some full
journal articles and whole books art, not just the dust jackets.
