This statement embodies Heisenberg's uncertainty principle which "simply 
stated" holds that we can measure the wave of an electron, or its "particle" 
position, but not both at the same time.

Suffice to say no sane person builds a product with the intent of hurting the 
end user.   But we end users often misuse products causing ourselves harm 
because either a) we aren't using our heads or b) if there was a problem 
there would be a warning because we expect the experts who built it to know 
what they are doing.   No designer should be held responsible for product 
liability when the product safety at release date upheld the then current 
scientific standards for safety.

Current scientific thought is uncertain about electromagnetic force effects 
on physiology, and the ever shifting standards reflect that uncertainty.   
Until science finds the causal focus -  with anything electronic we should 
just exercise discretion.   It could be nothing or it could be an atomic 
bullet.   Anyway, a laptop is not meant to be a lap warmer that's why we have 
dogs.
