I find this lack of communication be twiXt the posters to be indicative of all larger evc phenomena which I historically associate with 'the Galvani-Volta'difference of opnion and the new chemistry of Faraday. "The attack on the special theory of contact electricity was based on two fundamental proofs. With a few well-conducted experiments, the Galvanists successfully showed that : (1) Contractions were also obtained with
homogenousarmatures. This proof, provided by Valli, Aldini, and Galvani, was fairly convincing; however, its value as refutation was bluneted from the outset by Volta's ad hoc hypothesis on the imperceptibility of the differences between the armature's contact points. (2) Contractions were also obtained
without armatures, whether single-metal or bimetallic; this proof was furnished by a crucil experiment because it refuted the theory of contact electricity between unlike metals and confirmed the theory of intrinsic electrical imbalnce." in chapter 5 THE CRUCIAL EXPERIMENTS by Marcello Pera The Ambiguous Frog---The Galvani-Volta Controversy on Animal Electricity.
Is is any wonder I was on trial for lack of 'chemical' balance?
The only lack of correspondence to the lack of communicatio between Ned and DaBear is the bomb of not having to recount the history of electricity and mental treatment, virtuality subsitutes.
