Default Autoelectronic emission

Also, if your electrons are leaving the antenna, and flying off into
the ether, there should be a rather large positive charge left on the
antenna. If you then claim that the transmitter is replacing the
electrons as fast as they are radiated, then the positive charge
should reside in the transmitter. If you then claim that the local
electric utility is supplying electrons to the transmitter, then the
utility generating station must have a huge positive charge.


Well, he thinks that this is what is happening and therefore he
believes that any transmitter should always be grounded so that the
earth can supply the missing electrons and prevent the transmitter
from being charged more and more.

However, we all know this doesn't happen. He himself has no way to
verify it because he does not have a transmitter (or he is not bright
enough to realize that maybe he has one in his pocket).

So he keeps insisting that the transmitter must be grounded or problems
would occur because of the electron emission. When everyone agrees that
these problems do not occur, he does not realize that maybe the electron
emission is not there at the voltages involved, and he was wrong after all.
