Let’s not forget possibility number 3, that someone lied to him that we are doing it. How would he ever know?

Not OP, and while I agree with your stance on Rogan, it doesn’t change the validity of any claims made on the show. The claims are either supported by evidence, or they are not. Many sane and normal people go on shows, like Rogan’s, to counter misinformation that’s common everywhere.

That said, the obvious follow-up question is where else is the claim made, tested, and documented. And that’s where it really falls apart. Most results when searching for his technical claims were just random people discussing this exact clip. Digging past that, all I could find were extremely vague and indirect sources.

Amazon has largely become AliExpress with faster shipping. You have to be very careful to make sure that’s not what you’re getting in the first place.

Amazon also encourages counterfeits and fraud through their policy of “commingling” all sellers, even if it’s a trustworthy and reputable product. If any of those third party sellers are scammers, the entire product is tainted.
