I believe this is incorrect. I do not recall there needs to be a complete
CIRCUIT to activate the stopping mechanism. I watched all the videos (to my
interest and sometimes amazement) and recall it was capacitance technology or
something similar.

It doesn't do anything about kickback, for example.

The SawStop, according to their website, DOES address kickback - very
effectively, IIRC.
