You have no "evidence". You actually admit this on your website. You
have a lot of statements that are personal opinion presented as fact.


Once again, a completely misleading statement with no basis in fact,


Yes, you're rather good at that. What a shame that being an engineer has
not actually taught you anything about concepts of proof, evidence or
even, it seems the basics of testing.

we provide a lot of information which has been very well researched by
professional engineers, we provide the results of tests and measurements.


Really? And where would that be? There's emarkably little "test and
measurement" on your website. Unless of course you're describing your
someonewhat risible "socket cover pin dimensions" sheet.

I really CBA to entr that into a spreadsheet and do a proper analysis on
it. However it seems to contradict your statements here on pin
dimensions (in that the majority of dimensions are smaller than the
standard, not larger). Also you seem to be obsessively quibbling about
differences in dimensions of 0.07mm or less without stating your
measurement technique or the errors in measurement.


What we do not have, because the government does not collect it, is any
statistics. You should not confuse statistics with facts.


You really are whoppingly ignorant aren't you? Statistics most certainly
are facts. Data on the number of deaths attributable to poor design of
electrical sockets, plugs or socket covers would give some substance to
your site. As it is, it's an evidence free rant by someone who doesn't
seem to have understood the need for a sound statistical analysis of
data.


You, on the other hand, have no data to offer whatsoever.


I'm not the one claiming that a device degrades safety based on no
evidence whatsoever. You need to go, run don't walk, to a library and
learn something about testing, statistics and the first concepts of
proof including the impossibility of proving a negative.
