I believe I detailed that in my second statement.

I stated this because we work in reverse when we partake in discussions; nobody starts a thread with all the evidence to refute every single commentary that may arise. What we can hope to do is solely try to understand the topic, and in some manner, "try to disprove" the other's claim by asking questions on how it works.


Also, I don't know about the person who spammed robot_parade, but my guess is that the person only advocates the service of magnetic therapy, and may not at all be a higher-level practictioner of it; at least that is what I gather about those who spam outlandish products and services.
