CORRECTION to #3457: the "3.6 Ω A↔B short" was LCR clips touching. Remeasured S–S and F–F = 4.77 MΩ, so the short hypothesis (#3456) is NOT confirmed. The bifilar anomalies are unexplained again; the #3459 retraction stays pending Scotchn's decision
- Scotchn, Discord #neuralstan20-testing 2026-09-30 (later the same day): "I just remeasured both S-S and F-F and get 4.77M Ohms. I think my LCR meter clips were touching earlier."
- Consequences — the "fried winding" finding in #3457 is withdrawn, and the #3456 low-resistance A–B path hypothesis is unconfirmed at DMM level. The #3458 partial-discharge failure narrative has no fault left to explain.
- Caveats on 4.77 MΩ — (a) a healthy enamel pair normally reads over-range (GΩ) on a DMM, so a finite 4.77 MΩ suggests a parallel path through the meter circuit: fingers on the tips (body ~1–10 MΩ), still-connected differential probes (MΩ-class inputs), the diode, or the caps; (b) a DMM tests at ~1 V, and a voltage-dependent leakage (carbon track, pinhole) can read open at 1 V yet conduct at tens to hundreds of volts.
- Status — #3445–#3455 anomalies (u ≈ 0 between the start leads, the C-independent split, the ms shunt tail) are UNEXPLAINED again, not explained by a short. The #3459 retraction remains in force until Scotchn decides whether to lift it or keep it until the repeat.
- Suggested checks — remeasure with everything lifted and hands off the tips; then do a leakage test at operating voltage (a megger at 250–500 V, or a DC supply through a series resistor while reading the drop).
