These are fair questions! I'm not convinced that it is happening. Nor am I convinced, as the parent seems to be, that it would be difficult to do.

edit: Having re-read my comment, I can see how it could easily be read to say "It's happening and this is how it works", whereas I intended to convey something like "It could easily be done and here's how." I have a bad habit of implying my point rather than stating it outright. I'm working on it!

FWIW, I read it as "here's how it could happen", not as "it's happening".

If it were happening, it would kill our battery really quickly, and be easily measurable and obvious in a router trace, so I find it very unlikely.
