It's hypothetical the degree to which these transmissions affect the super secret systems inside our aluminum cans. We can't judge one way or the other unless a study is published publicly. This arguement seems to stem from a difference in trust.

Some people trust their neighbors to be good and just people, who will always do the right thing. Others do not.

Some people trust their local government/police to be good and just, and will always do right thing. Others have been jaded by life.

Some people trust corporations to be comprised of inherently good people, who are just trying to pay their mortgage without screwing anyone too hard. Others look around at root kit fiascos and chemicals in the water, and think vigilance is the best policy.

Some people trust their government to be "of the people, by the people, for the people." Others remember McCarthyism, separate but equal, and other atrocities.

My time in school has convinced me that everyone should have to show their work.
