I don't think there was much correct about it.
There's all sorts of EM radiation in nature, including light and heat, and that does not mean it always harmless to create an artificial source of it and stand next to it for hours on end.
Just because we get lots of nice visible light and heat from the sun, doesn't mean it's OK to stare into a laser or stick your hand in an infrared barbeque.
That some sources of 2.4GHz may be harmless, even with long constant exposure, does not mean you should dry your dog in the microwave.
The lack of proof of any harm does not make an equally proof-less dismissal of all concern any more valid.
Personally, I'd like to see little more unbiased, long-term scientific study on the effect of all the new EM sources we've created in the last century.
For that matter, I'd like to see more study in capturing that ambient EMR to power all our devices...cuz, heck, if it turns out there is enough energy there to hurt us, we might as well put it to good use!
