> Do you think a physicist would be less certain that OP is wrong, than how certain OP is that he is right? This is not the correct application of the effect. A physicist would have been sure about this particular case being wrong, but would likely be a lot more careful and concise about what he's talking about. Also a physicist is supposed to be more confident, as they are on the far right side of the curve. Being at the bottom of that curve is reserved for folks like me who rely on common sense but cannot be certain outside of extremely basic cases like knowing that electrons are not leaving the USB en masse.
