Then I wonder why there still is a measureable difference in the em-fields between plugging a power cord into the outlet one way or the other.
I'm not aware of the concrete physics behind that, but I know that there are people that make a living by running through peoples homes with emf detectors and not seldomly identify an "incorrectly" plugged in cable as a source of radiation.(we do have AC in germany aswell, so that shouldn't be the reason)

It didn't seem to me that all of 'em are charlatans (although I'm willing to believe that many are).

I'd have to say they are charlatans, at least the majority, cuz I'm sure there a genuine situations. Put it this way, there are IT people payed to simply set up computers...now if you look at it everything is colour coded and has symbols and all, hell they could simply base it on the physical plugs, but no they hire and pay big bucks to have a 'pro' set things up for them.

There is allot of money to be made off people who are reluctant to learn or even attempt to try do things them selves.

I use to work for an ISP company here in Australia, and I remeber telling this guy to simply unplug the phone cable from his ADSL modem wait about 3 minutes while we configure his modem, and he stopped me right there and requested a technician to come out, a fucking technician which would cost him 150 bucks for the service call, I told him it was simple and that I'd guide him on what he needed to do, he declined and said he wanted the pro's todo it, so I booked him a tech...sigh there are so many people I had to deal with like this.
