Re: More modern synchrometer?

"
I disagree partly. While it was a crude piece of junk that could not produce any relevant data as far as I can tell, There is such as thing as resonance and many different frequencies exist throughout the universe according to mathematical law. Just because our technology is too primitive to actually produce relevant data, does not mean that it does not exist and that it is not possible to some day detect and translate that data into useful information.

Your response, and particularly the first paragraph, is an excellent example of the Straw Man argument, one of the informal fallacies of retorical logic, because you address something I did *not* say. Yes, anything with physical dimensions can have resonant frequencies; yes the universe is full of wonderous stuff... But that is not what Clark said. She said this circuit does this thing in this way for this reason, and she was 0 for 3, and perfect strike out. My point is that the Synchrometer as described by Clark c.a.n n.o.t w.o.r.k. I did not generalize to any other kind of anything. Might something vaguely related do something kinda the same with "electricity" sometime in the future? Duh.

Argumentum ad populum is one of the Red Herring Fallacies, and you have a nice one of those, too. The fact that lotsa stores sold an untested and unproven medical device does not constitute testing, or proof, or any other form of validation that the thing actually did any real good. Neither does big pharma ganging up on it prove it worked, or that it was a *medical* threat. In any confrontation there are a lot of reasons to assert control; most of them are emotional, not physical, and most of the physical ones are financial, not technical. Paraphrasing an old line, 50 million Frenchmen can in fact be wrong.

And just so we all remember that I'm on your side, let me close with something that sounds like it applies here but doesn't - the unofficial reason the ADA (American Dental Association) was formed was to attack and quash an unapproved (unblessed?) new thing people were using to reduce their dependence on dentists: floss.
