Nonsense! You should tell the company. They will be grateful you have discovered this terrible problem with their instrument. They may pay you a large sum of money for helping them find this problem. You should inform all of the other companies that make ammeters. You will become a highly paid industry consultant and they will invite you to give keynote speeches at their trade shows.
Think about this. You have discovered a way to fool an instrument that is used throughout the world, often in critical applications. You are the second person to discover an easy way to make this instrument display the wrong numbers. (Rossi was the first.) No doubt thousands of industrial accidents occur everyday because this happens inadvertently. When you tell the world why these instruments do not work, you will be a hero.
I had no idea it was so easy to interfere with the operation of such a widely used, critical instrument.
Do you also happen know how to make a thermocouple produce the wrong answer? By ESP perhaps? Can you use your superpowers to change the answer on my Casio calculator, while you are at it?
I hope that you will use your powers for good and not evil. - Jed
