Right now I am listening to perfectly fine ('normal') sound from the
radio on a *single strand* of copper wire - all the way up to heap
plenty loud and down again! (Pucci's milkman isn't due here for ages so
I asked Swim to comment on the sound without telling her what I was up
to and, like me, she found nothing out of the ordinary!) In this
situation, I wonder what 'science' would support the 'conventional
wisdom' of using more than the one strand of wire - provided of course
it don't break!

Thanks for proving yet again you don't understand things technical.
Obviously never noticed that a fuse wire is tiny compared to the cable it
protects. And that fuses use short bits of wire...
