Reminded me of the joke:
How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

None. They simply declare darkness to be a new standard.

My own investigations have indicated that this is probably true.
Like BuckminsterFullerenes (http://www.ornl.gov/ORNLReview/rev26-2/text/rndmain1.html),
Phlogiston was thought not to exist but in fact is everywhere.

You can produce it in your own home. Take any electronic circuit. Plug it in and
turn it on. Now, use a screwdriver and start prying parts from the circuit board. Between
the flashes of light you will see clouds of Phlogiston being released. I believe that it
is this Phlogiston that works it's way to the antennas to be radiated in puffs.
The frequency of the puffs is so high that the action is indiscernible.
