Someone doesn't understand the difference between ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation.

Perhaps the issue isn't as settled as you might think.

Please refer to the link I posted just above this for a study from MIT linking non-ionizing radiation to permanent damage to cellular DNA.

The effects of ionizing radiation are pretty well settled. Non-ionizing, people have been unsuccessfully chasing that ghost for decades.

I'm not really sure about that. UV rays from the sun are not ionising radiation, are they? I mean the ones that are known to cause skin cancer.
