Indeed - and even that is very optimistic. I thing that 50Ω-75Ω is far more usual for a domestic TT rod (that's certainly the case for mine), so we are then talking of less than 5A.
That is, indeed, the argument ... so why did you 'assume' that you "knew what eric meant" (even though it's not what he wrote), rather than take him to task over what he had actually written?
That's certainly true of any meter I have seen or heard of at any point in my life (many decades!). Eric seems to have been suggesting that it may have been different in the past, but I very much doubt that.
... which presumably is not really forgivable in relation to "a profession where accuracy and attention to technical detail are very important".
Good job I'm not a sparks then.
You also claim not to be GeorgeCooke or BanAllShells or any of the others, so it becomes hard to believe anything you say anymore.
Indeed, as I said, I think that all of us (including winston) "knew what you meant".
Maybe - I suppose that someone who does not know/understand how a kWh meter works might have any number of (mis-)conceptions about what 'tricks' might enable them to 'get free electricity'. Of course, in the days of electromagnetic meters, one probably didn't need more than a decent magnet to achieve that!
Nor am I rocket scientist, brain surgeon, or ex Prime Minister. But you don’t have to believe me if you don’t want to.
That didn’t work either. I tried it when I was young.
The story has always been around, but I never personally tried it. However, physics being physics, if the magnet were large enough I can't see how it could fail to work.
