In article 42,
says...
If you have 100 devices, 50 with surge supression of SOME type, and 50
w/o, and there is an event that causes damage to 25 of the 50 NON-
protected items (50%), yet all of the protected items are not damaged,
based on mathematics, it's COMPLETELY SAFE to conclude that the surge
suppressors saved 50% of the 50 protected items does it not ?


That last part should have been "...suppressors saved 100% of the 50
protected items..."



Well, that was just going according to tom's logic, that suppressors
don't work.

If 50% of the unprotected devices fried, that gives a 50% failure, by
that ratio and t-Logic, 50% of the protected devices would have been fine
on their own because they are protected by some 'invisible' surge
supressor put in place on many devices by the 'surge supressor
fairy'....I've never seen her......
