The Big Four Proofs of LRLs Fraud #5
1. There is no standard electronics explanation for the devices ever working.
2. The movement of the swivel pointer or rods is not powered by the devices.
3. Makers and owners of these devices refuse to take a random double blind test.
4. The proponent's only rebuttal is that they find what they are looking for. This, however is not being contested by items #1-3. The statement of this list is that the electronics add-ons, to what is merely a dowsing device, are not necessary, and are only there to charge high prices. This makes their reports of allegedly finding stuff a total Straw Man type of fallacy, and thus void as rebuttals to this list. Besides, just saying you found something, is not "proof." The random double-blind test, fully documented by an unbiased observer, would be proof.
EE has posted this may times. I have started to ask him for proof of the statements just to get him to commit to an answer ...So I will list his answers here so you do not have to read all the insults.

There is no electromechanical or electromagnetic or electrostatic drive mechanism in the device, so no force is applied to the pointer portion to turn it..EE

We know that..How do you explain the fact that the devices do turn?...Art

They are free-swinging---the pointer turns when you tilt your hand...EE

So the hand turns the device when it finds gold...So..What’s wrong with that?...Art

First of all, that makes it a dowsing rod. So thanks for admitting that.
Secondly, your claim to have found gold is not proof that you have found gold. You cannot use a claim as a premise to a logical conclusion.
And thanks for admitting that you need to tilt your hand to move the pointer, thus confirming point number two in my Original Post in this thread...EE

Because the "electronics" don't move it---you do.
So, no electronic influence, you tilt your hand to move it---viola, it's a dowsing device...EE

When the electronics make contact with the object that it is programmed to locate the tool will swing ... Every Dowser knows that hand movement is not a requirement to locate treasure...

Also, the swivel pointer or rods, are not powered by anything at all, except, as Carl points out, gravity....EE

What's to talk about. The LRL devices don't move the pointer, you do.
Same as with a coat hanger. You can call it whatever you want, but it still does nothing....Art

OK, so you admit that the LRL devices don't power their pointers.
That's what number two in the list says.
What else is there to discuss about number two?

The Big Four Proofs of LRL Fraud has been revised and updated.
Another proof has been added, and since the previous number four point was not actually a direct proof, it has been separated from the four proofs, but included below them as an explanatory paragraph, giving an example of a common false rebuttal, and further defining the topic of the four proofs....EE

The following is an excerpt from The Predictable Pattern of LRL Con Artists---
"26. [*a.]There is logical reason to strongly suspect that the repetitive, aggressive "user" CA is actually working for the product makers. The reasoning is that because the LRL makers can't directly state in their advertisements that their devices actually find anything (for legal reasons), they must rely on fake "users" to make those statements for them, thus trying to distance themselves legally from those statements. Circumstantial evidence is valid in court, and common sense will show that evidence. Who else would spend great quantities of their time promoting LRLs, when they have never been proven to actually work as advertised, or as claimed by these people?"
One LRL promoter on here even admitted to receiving gratuities from an LRL manufacturer....EE
I apologize to EE for trying to con him into giving an answer..
