There are two types of engineers, one is hands-on type like techs
in the field. One is strictly desk bound knowing only theory. There
are many EEs out there who can't even replace a blown fuse on
something some where. I was not one of them.

It really doesn't matter in this caes: either type of engineer could
*easily* give the correct answer here (what size resistor to use to
eliminate phantom voltage readings and not burn up or explode). In fact,
it doesn't even take an engineer. Lotsa DIY types like myself know Ohm's
law and the formula for power, which are the only two pieces of
information necessary.

Hmmm,
I just ;et my two fingers on my right hand tell.
LOL!

old school electrician, licks two fingers and places them across two
terminals. "yup, feels like about 120."
