It works at the quantum level and will not do its magic if it is observed.

That sounds like a much better test than mine. All I did was extract a piece
of the tape from the cable and set it in a glass with water in it. I was
expecting to see some visible swelling, but I couldn't see any.

Same. We attached a funnel full of water to the end of a 2ft chuck of
DC-1042. Left it for 24 hours expecting water to drip out the bottom. Never
did. We started using it exclusively on our towers for the last 2 years. Not a
single issue.

waiting for something to happen. Maybe I didn't wait long enough, but
nothing happened.
