I propose a test for this guy.

Let's plant some live mines in a large field, and simply ask him to cross it a few times, using his little tech wonder detector.

I'll bet all my possessions that he will promptly refuse, on some 'atmospheric impossibility' or some other shit.

I was thinking more of a Schrodinger's cat like scenario. Lock him in a room with 10 bombs. Give him his device and tell him that 9 are filled with c4 and one with spaghetti noodles, well cooked. He will be released when he chooses the fake and presses the detonate button. (In reality, all will be filled with tasty pasta.)

How long will it take him to emerge?
