large conductor attached to one side of the power supply (such as the
"ground plane" on a printed circuit board) which serves as the common return
path for current from many different components in the circuit."

that it could perform his field emission any longer.

In the vacuum is the rare plasma. The are free charges.

It should be easy to observe as the signal strength would decrease with
time. I haven't noticed that effect myself, nor has anyone else.

Are you sure?
Each ground must be large enough. Engineers know what to do.
Sometimes they water the ground area.

In the space the chassis must be large enough.

You know, he is sort of more amusing than Art. At first. Art can argue
and Art makes no sense, and neither does Szechuan, but he can't build an
argument that even sounds a little bit logical. And his arguments never
change. Art makes up new stuff all the time.

Prediction - Szechuan will eventually become so boring no one that no
one will respond.
