Unrealistic. The unit is not in general release, probably no more than a

couple
dozen floating around, if that many. How can you compare, especially

negatives,
when the other systems have millions in use.


im not trying to compare anything. J Clarke claims its vaporware and
doesnt
work. i'd like to see his evidence and offered up a suggestion as to what
credible evidence might be.


I didn't claim it didn't work. "Vaporware" != "doesn't work", "vaporware" =
"for all practical purposes does not now and never will exist as a
commercial product".

as you say, how can you compare? apparantly he has a way....


im not trying to say it should be made mandatory. but if you're saying

its
all vaporware, i think its YOU that needs to provide some proof.

similiar
systems have been installed for other things for years and they work.


Where have they been installed?


for one simple example touch lamps.


Why would one want to have a saw stop on a lamp?

granted it takes a little more
sophisticated system for a saw stop, but its still the same basic
principle. contact with a conductor (i.e. you) changes the electrical
characteristics of the system and can be detected.


And you are willing to trust the mechanism of a touch lamp to save you from
serious bodily harm without further analysis?

im not going to defend saw stop. but im not going to take it on the word
of
JClarke that it doesnt work either. the theory is sound, and they are
either totally faking those demonstrations, or i think its clear that less
people would be hurt with them even if it didnt work 100% of the time.


So go buy one and tell us how you like it.
