“A negative has been proven to my satisfaction, therefore anyone who believes otherwise is mad”

1. At this point, the harmlessness of wi-fi is a negative that arguably cannot be proven.

2. Some of the damaging effects you might get from this kind of radio activity on human tissue (if they are really happening), like irreversible damage to DNA, would not manifest for a generation or two.

I’d be really interested to know what mechanism was used to prove this doesn’t happen – and how that mechanism has shortcut 20-40 years of necessary time elapsed.

You see I think that factually speaking the only thing we have done is assume and/or guess that it doesn’t, so far.

3. I don’t think you can dispute, even with insults, that exposure to radio waves of various kinds can present a risk of damage to human tissue, and cancers, and as discussed, increased risk of cancer in offspring when you have them.

These things are well established, from a factual standpoint, to which decades of studies, statistics and human experience will attest. Why would the idea of wi-fi damaging human tissue thermally or otherwise be far-fetched at all?

Today's myths are tomorrows truths. If you think otherwise, you are either naive or stupid.
