Science sounds bearable - the person doing it knows the limitations
and is trying to convey this to others, but the message is probably
being lost.

Sample of 10 has a margin of error of about +/- 30% :-) (for normally
distributed population etc). .

Power above legal limits at 1.5m (I think they said) max range, and
having thermal stress as observed damage mechanism all say that, so
far, there is no observed real world  problem. That may not be how it
gets reported in due course.
