True, I've been part of repeatable, verifable tests. However, all of the controls had high gain amplifiers, the radios are multi-watt RF output - not microwatt oscillators in a camera microprocessor.
I worked refueling overhauls, instrumentation, for surface ships and subs, 1973 - 1980. You couldn't hurt that equipment with a baseball bat. The EMP from a nuke wasn't susposed to take it out. Of course, one hopes the industry has progressed beyond mag amps.
For me, it's not a case of belief, it a case of "Okay, let me see the reports and test data". The report just sounds phony. "Well, we can't find anything else, we will blame it on that - mean while keep looking, it will likely be back. Either that or fire Harry, this is the second time we have dropped the rods on his shift."
It likely did happen just a charlie says. Now if the techs can't find anything wrong with the instrumentation, they will be under pressure to find a cause -
now
There really isn't any bad here. If it was the camera, good for them. If not , the problem will be back, maybe they will find it next time or maybe Harry gets reassigned. And the story in the paper will be about the same - it isn't written for us.
