Could the exact same thing be said about whomever the French are hiring? They want to have findings or else all the money they spent ensuring compliance is effectively wasted.
that presupposes that france wants to ban the phone. charitably they just want an accurate measurement so they can apply their regulations. the lab has no incentive to find either way
No, it presupposes this list of things unrelated to france or phones (or strictly speaking, only the last item on this list):
- companies engaged in government contracts would rather continue to be engaged in government contracts than have them be terminated
- politicians would prefer to say they spent your taxpayer dollars on something that caused a change which “benefited” you, rather than say they spent them on something that had no perceptible impact
- there exist technicians engaged in testing who believe the above two are true, and have the capacity to make micro-decisions in testbench setup that can affect the general bias of the results
That all said, based on the other commented here it seems french politicians took EU guidelines for 5mm exposure and demanded those same number at 0mm. So it really is the french politicians wanting to ban the phones.
