There is not any proof that RF behaves differently than light.

Sure there is. After half a century of exposure to RF, my hair is
falling out, my hand is shaking, and my bank account depleted. Other
people, who were only exposed to light, have not had these things
happen. I can only conclude that RF is somehow dangerous and
different from light.

That's gotta be it, by the infallible principle of Post Hoc Ergo Propter
Hoc.

Attributing my premature demise to the effects of RF exposure is
nothing new. It's done all the time by those that believe that
correlation is sufficient evidence to assign causation:

http://tylervigen.com/discover

It's a form of inductive logic. That's where one makes a series of
observations, and then contrives a generalized conclusion based upon
the available observations. For example, I've noticed that most of
the hams in the local radio club are officially senior citizens.
Therefore ham radio causes accelerated aging. It's all very logical.
The only problem is that inductive logic never really provides a proof
as there are always alternative explanations.

Fortunately, we have an easy test to identify fallacious correlations
called Occam's Razor, where the simplest explanation is usually the
correct explanation. In my case, RF exposure is a far more
complexicated explanation than simple aging. However, I discarded
that explanation due to lack of entertainment value. I also find it
easier to offer an intentionally complex theory that is easily
refuted, so that the simpler theory will be more readily accepted
without contest. Had I initially offered the simple theory, it would
surely have been met by opposition.

I hope this helps.
