15. "And is this one article the most reliable source?"

It was the article you posted from the American Cancer Society.

Is the American Cancer Society a reliable source of information about cancer? Well, I would imagine they are much more reliable than a lot of other potential sources.

But if you don't think it is reliable, then why did you link to it to "support" your contention that concern about smart meters "is not woo" when the article goes out of its way to state that there is no reason to believe there is a problem?

You are calling me out for daring to quote from the article you posted? Really?
