If must be said eight times - and still not understood by trader -
because that is the point. He does not want to understand it.

BTW, prim and proper Englishmen insist we must never mix first,
second, and third person. They don't worry about being misinterpreted
since misinterpretation is part of being prim and proper.

Better is to mix first and third person often so that the only
thing important - the message - cannot be misconstrued. If he chooses
to do so, no problem. If w_tom chooses to do so, no problem. If I
choose to do so, no problem. Exact same meaning to everyone except
the prim and proper Englishman who would now get all caught up in a
tizzy.

No problem. trader still will deny a fact stated eight times.

All appliances contain internal protection. That protection is not
provided by MOVs no matter how many times trader says otherwise.
Protection that may be overwhelmed if the typically destructive surge
is not earthed by a 'whole house' protector. Facts remain no matter
which person is used.

Again, referring to trader's latest myth: increasingly complex
electronics now contain even better protection than those earlier,
less complex electronics. Today, international standard now require
signal interface ICs to withstand 2000 and 15,000 volts without
damage. Previous interfaces in less complex electronics could only
withstand 30 or 40 volts. trader should have known these numbers long
before he posted more myths. Increasing complex electronics are even
more robust - less likely to suffer surge damage. But again, trader
knew long before learning any facts.
