The irresponsible part is that he says you "must use a filter" if you attach an antenna but does not describe what that would entail. There's not even a link anywhere that would describe how to make a filter or even what he's talking about ("I have a filter... There's no bad power going into this thing!")

When you, "make something dangerous easy" you have a responsibility to be very specific in how to use your invention safely. Otherwise disaster seems inevitable.

You can buy razor blades almost everywhere for like a dollar.

(Reviewing this comment later I see it can be read in sort of a nasty way; my meaning was that we don't really assign blame to providers of dangerous tools, the low price of razor blades reflects this)
