I could not agree more with Ian, GM3SEK.
Neil Muncy may well have 'discovered' the 'Pin 1 Problem' as related to pro
audio equipment in 1995. He did not discover the need for proper (single point)
grounding techniques, which have certainly been well known for many decades and
probably pre-date WW2.
It would probably do all of us a lot of good to understand that the sum of
human knowledge is just that, and that there are some rather clever people
working in just about every field. A sweeping dismissal of a whole class of
engineering expertise is neither correct nor helpful.

One of the traditions in this world is that when you discover or invent
something something you get to name it. Neil Muncy discovered the Pin 1
Problem and published it, and that's what he chose to call it. It would
do RF folks a lot of good to realize that some pro audio folks really do
know more about some things than they do, and in the world of RFI,
there's been more progress made by pro audio folks than by RF folks. :)
