So you agree it was bad reporting...?

ARRELL — 8/23/2008 12:31:55 AM (archived)

So arent we in agreement now?

I posted the information about what makes this technique interesting, and so useful and gave some of the concepts behind it above- In the original article linked to none of that was explained... Therefore it led to ER's confusion about the 1/r^2 power law, and my confusion over a 1/r^3 power law due to assuming non-resonant induction. The reporting was vague and didnt give sufficient information- so it was poor reporting, a position you now- after many outraged posts- seem to agree with...

Is there a point?
