But as I wrote, nowhere do they specifically report the actual

promptly retract my statement, and apologize.

Hi OM,

As stated previously:

"Fig. 6 shows the actual current in the earth for the same conditions"

I hope the word "actual" is not subject to recourse to the IEEE
dictionary for clarification.

The "same conditions" are explicitly specified with conductivity.

One has to trust that engineers did not ask the farmer's wife to make
this determination for them in her kitchen. The imputation of
distrust would seem to serve another agenda.

Figures 7, 8, 9, and 10 also are all quite explicit.

The paper offers enough data to render your objections as tedious as
my work disproving "total cancellation" - the difference being I did
the work instead of simply saying "'t'ain't so." ;-)
