Logically, if it can make emissions worse, it can make them better, too.
Suppose your original board exhibited some resonance, and thieving changed
it. That would certainly lower emissions due to a resonant board. Anything
that resonates will radiate, and this can even be a whole board in its
slot. So the answer is yes, it CAN help. But I'd not count on random
thieving to cut overall emissions! On the other had, I like the idea of
ground-fill, well tied to an underlying plane. This should provide an
on-board return path for fields than otherwise would return through more
distant conductors.

Can thieving reduce emissions even if they are floating? I have two
different versions of a board, the one without thieving is much noisier
than the other.
Thanks,
