It has nothing to do with windows, Harry. An ungrounded Faraday cage is an antenna. Put a radio next to a metal window screen, and you'll get better reception. That was a trick I learned in the 70s, with my short wave radio. It isn't because the radio waves are passing through the little holes, they are smaller than the wavelength of the signal. Ground that screen, and you have the opposite effect, the signal is blocked from that direction, and you have a weaker signal.

Get a grip, Harry, and quit arguing with everybody. You seem to have serious control issues. You are just wasting your time trying to change everybody's mind about everything they say.

My philosophy is this: Approximately 1/4 of the population is outright evil. I was more optimistic as a youth, but life experience has opened my eyes. They know what effect their actions have, and seek to harm others. Another 1/4 is so narcissistic that they cannot think in terms of anything except their own desires. They couldn't care less what effect their actions have upon others. Another 1/4 is too stupid to even realize what effect their actions have upon others. That leaves only 1/4 that could qualify for the definition of "good". You'll have to decide for yourself where you fit in.

Try as you might, there is nothing you can do about the others, you are simply outnumbered. (Just as I'm probably wasting my time here talking to you.) The sooner you realize this, the less likely you are to have a heart attack or stroke. Outlive 'em, it's the best revenge.
