Is this a universal truth? I was under the impression that this depended on
the quality of the soil conductivity. E.g. good soil, raise it up. Bad soil,
lower it. Directivity is just one measure. What about raw sensitivity? Once
again, good ground, low=poor sensitivity.
Also, the author can make each beverage a bidirectional beverage and reduce the
number of installations needed by 50%.
