Things are already quite complicated without it :-) 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://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations 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. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
