No, it's already gotten silly. I was abetting the demise.

I agree, which was part of my point.
My own opinion is that the basically unmeasurable amount of heat
delivered by a cellphone is inconsequential. Certainly there is not
enough energy delivered to ionize anything and we may as well talk about
solar heating. In any case, I'm a heck of lot more concerned about UV
and sunburn than I am from anything my cell phone might do.
