I know of no mathematical nor physical nor chemical reason for such a conclusion about measurements of commensurabilities. Is the mathematics of electric field theory constrained by the physical principles that motivate this conclusion about this measurement of Planck’s constant?
Perhaps others may be able to expand on the origin of this conjecture. But, from my perspective, it is merely another example of the problems of scientific epistemologies and Wikipedia’s style of informing public opinion. Historically, this issue has arise on this list serve with respect controversial Wikipedia articles that appear to be authored by a member of Peirce-L. Cheers Jerry
