      If the effect were meaningful it should be possible to establish it. What it means is that the effect is probably nothing. The burden of proof is on those asserting there is an effect and it hasn’t been met. The problem is of course that we are dealing with the assertion that there is a possibility of a too small to measure increase in one disease in the entire pop whereas the EMF crowd is busy asserting their is a massive effect in a small population of users.

      The first asks should we spend more money investigating the complex intersection of technology and biology on the off chance something useful is found the answer for which is almost always yes and the second is looking for real harm for which is being done by their hallucinations to which the answer is pretty obviously to medicate their schizophrenia rather than investigate what the voices are telling them.

        Effects have been established in mice. Do we want to risk lives by establishing it in humans, or just recommend that people not live close to high voltage lines.

        EMFs are very dangerous. Particularly at the gamma end of the spectrum.
