trillion times a day with all the microwaves ovens on this earth.

To see you write that the "clever engineering of shorting a capacitor"
is remotely similar to standing in front of a microwave oven is very
disappointing to say the least. You are losing your edge.

You know very well that they aren't remotely similar in the effects
produced. For one thing the "clever engineering of shorting a
capacitor" is very misleading without at least some explanation of how
different it is from simply shorting a capacitor.
