I had a meter which is totally reliable.

Describe the process you used to validate the reliability of the meter.

I only had severe symptoms afterwards. Now how can I be mistaken?

You can be mistaken by failing to undertake a properly controlled experiment to, first, establish a correlation that you informally suspect, and second, to rule out competing variables.

Do you not realize that you jump to bad conclusions because of your bias?

How is anyone here biased except for you? You're literally using your desired conclusion as the basis for accepting or rejecting evidence.

The judge did not follow the law - which was that in such cases where people offer contradicting evidence on such a critical point he should have asked for verbal testimony or further evidence.

Cite a South African legal authority that establishes this rule, please. A trier of fact in any jurisdiction may certainly desire additional evidence to help resolve conflicting evidence. But if none is forthcoming, or if other circumstances apply, the trier of fact simply decides how much weight to give each side. That's what it means to be a trier of fact.
 
I had a meter which is totally reliable. My wife got symptoms and asked me to measure. The meter is directional so there was no doubt. The reading showed it was operating at full power (about 3,000 uW/sqm). Even if every tower in the area was at full strength the value could never be above about 4 uW/sqm because of the inverse square law. I only had severe symptoms afterwards. Now how can I be mistaken?

From a previous post of yours:

A little high! The meter meter only goes up to 2mW/sqm. I had to estimate the Peak using the RMS. The German engineers did not think that anyone had to measure such high values.

Firstly, your meter is a POS and is useless for absolute measurements, so don't even bother referencing it again. Add to that the fact that you "estimated" the peak means your values are useless anyway. Do you even know the difference between RMS and peak values?? Do you know why Chinese speaker manufacturers can confidently quote peak power values of 1500W for 6W RMS speakers??


I'm currently torn - I would LOVE to get hold of one of these meters to tear it down, but I refuse to pay over $300 to these charlatans.

I'll leave the scientific answers to those more qualified.
However, I note that you have avoided answering my questions regarding your dismissal of the evidence brought to the court that the tower had been turned off. You have simply asserted that it was all lies, without providing any evidence to support this.
This does also rather re-emphasise the general point, that you simply cannot conceive that you might be mistaken. Do you consider yourself to be infallible?

Do you not realize that you jump to bad conclusions because of your bias?

Actually, no, I don't, because all I have done on this topic is to ask you questions, and basically all you have done is to ignore or dodge them.
What conclusions do you think I have reached, and what bias do you think I have that influenced them?


The judge said he accepted the metering companies evidence because they are a big corporate and as such they were the better witness. :jaw-dropp

Which is yet another unsupported claim on your part. I will, for the sake of form more than an actual expectation of a straight answer, ask you to highlight the specific part of the court transcripts where the judge said those words.


I will be laying a police complaint of statutory perjury because the "evidence" the company provided DOES show the tower had to be on for 36 hours during the month of January 2019. They distorted the graph so it was not immediately obvious but a careful analysis makes it clear. You know how the magician does the trick - he tells you what he wants you to see. The power company invoice will also show 36 hours of power instead of 1 hour of testing.

Well, good luck with that. Will the police be lucky enough to actually see the graph and the invoice? Somehow, I doubt that we will be, here on this forum.


The judge did not follow the law - which was that in such cases where people offer contradicting evidence on such a critical point he should have asked for verbal testimony or further evidence. But wait. This issue is not dead - far from it. You may even read about it in the media.

I will echo that call for you to cite the relevant parts of South African law, and add that it would be nice if you could highlight the same in the court records. I would like to see exactly what the judge ruled.
 
PartSkeptic, what is the reason for your suggested protocol including taking measurements? Why do you require “more instrumentation” to carry out a test that involves having a modem turned on or off and you deciding, using nothing more than your own senses, which it is?

The neutrality of the style of writing in this article is questioned.

The UK constitution is not contained in a single code, but principles have emerged over the centuries from statute, case law, political conventions and social consensus. In this sense, it can be said that the United Kingdom does not have a constitution or a basic law.


It either does or it does not. My statement is either true or false. It is not a Schrodinger Cat. My statement is true despite your attempt at spin.

You did say you are bathed in radiation. Your confused thinking may be a symptom of too much emf. Or maybe you are just that way.

Want more? There is plenty of discussion about the UK constitution.

Or do you prefer to remain wrong?

You use "will" a lot. Actually, you've been threatening all sorts of actions against the authorities for a while now, and nada. In fact, you've really done nothing since the end of the case in what, early 2019?

Show us this "evidence" you've got showing the tower being on. No, I'm not talking about your POS meter measurements.

The power company "will" show - again, you come with these pleadings.

Scientifically speaking, his meter is obvious crap. He even admits it gives him nonsensical readings, yet he trusts it. He had symptoms at the same time, and jumped to a conclusion of causation, having applied no rigor or control. That's how science responds.

I find it interesting that he said his wife got symptoms and asked him to measure. So if his wife didn't mention it, he wouldn't have known? Who's the RF canary now?

Indeed. His wife prompts him to take measurements. He does, noting an absurdly high reading. Then he gets symptoms. Why didn't he get symptoms at the same time as the other occupant of the house? I'm sure the explanation will be entertaining.

I think there might be a clue in the next paragraph of the same post.

I hope so, I need more material for the small book I'm writing.

If "feel free to cherry pick what suits your beliefs" had not already blown up my irony meter, "Do you not realize that you jump to bad conclusions because of your bias?" would certainly have done it.

With the amount of irony in PS's posts and the amount of high strength electric fields he has supposedly been exposed to, I'm surprised he can actually do anything except align to magnetic North.
 
Really. Prove it. Why was there no preparation?

Well, for one thing, experts being aware of something doesn't translate into politicians and the public being willing to do something about it. Hell, in the US we're several months into the pandemic with over a million dead and a significant chunk of the population still refuses to take the trivial step of wearing masks in public.

However, there absolutely was preparation. Sorry, my knowledge is mostly US centric, but over here, our president and administration from 2009 through 2016 created a pandemic task force that responded swiftly to assist with potential outbreaks throughout the world. In 2014 our then president said in a speech:

“There may and likely will come a time in which we have both an airborne disease that is deadly. And in order for us to deal with that effectively, we have to put in place an infrastructure—not just here at home, but globally—that allows us to see it quickly, isolate it quickly, respond to it quickly, so that if and when a new strain of flu like the Spanish flu crops up five years from now or a decade from now, we’ve made the investment and we’re further along to be able to catch it.”

That administration prepared a variety of training and preparing material for the incoming administration in 2016 including a training scenario that looks almost exactly like the current outbreak. Which the current administration utterly ignored.

However, several countries WERE well prepared for the outbreak. With fast responses and listening to medical and scientific advice, they minimized cases and deaths. Here's a nice readable article discussing some of them:
