Believe what you want. :-D

For this intent and purpose, the coincidental grounding of heat sinks in both electronics devices amounts to the same thing: they're grounded, but it doesn't make any difference. The comparison is valid. The Blizzard PPC is not magical, it is an electronic device that is subject to the same physics as every other piece of electronics.

Phase 5 were not somehow more ingenious than anyone else, there is no magic secret ingredient at play here.

If you can dig out some data sheets or similar documentation about why someone would recommend to ground a PPC heat sink, I'll make sure to read them and see if my opinion needs to be revised. For now, the counter argumentation I've seen is not convincing.
