But we are not talking about electromagnetism, we are talking about electromagnetic compatibility which is a very different problem. You cannot ignore the political and economic factors which are not so easy to describe mathematically as the electromagnetism.
Your second paragraph is factually correct, but in fact is about as much use as trying to use relativistic space-time theory as the basis of deciding a policy on dealing with speeding offences.
