Re: kVA Effects on Discovery Channel

"I disagree.  The target audience of the DISCOVERY channel is not
technically trained individuals.  Although we
may think its an educational program, the sole purpose for its creation
is profit and entertainment.  Also,
trying to explain in detail exactly what is going on and how voltage and
current relates often "goes over
the average person's head", may bore the person, and ultimately cause
that individual to lose interest. Their goal is to keep the audience
interested and keep the technical knowledge to a minimum."

	It's OK to keep the technical knowledge to a minimum, although that is
demeaning to the audience, but in my experience a lot of the stuff on
Discovery is blatently phoney and I'm sure they know it.  Sort of in
line with the "In Search of Ancient Astronauts" theme.
