Claim B lacks relevant evidence, as the author expresses concern about a device consuming seven watts when turned off without providing specific data or credible sources. Claims A, C, and D offer more substantiated information to support the argument.
Claim B, "Normally it just sits there, turned off-GOBBLING SEVEN WATTS of power 24/7!?!" lacks relevant evidence. While the author expresses surprise and concern about the power consumption of the device when turned off, the claim lacks specific evidence or data to support the assertion that the device consumes seven watts continuously. Without providing concrete information or referencing credible sources, this claim relies on emotional language ("GOBBLING") rather than substantiated evidence. Claims A, C, and D, on the other hand, include specific details or actions that contribute to the author's argument. Claim A establishes the author's expertise, Claim C mentions the purchase of a digital electric meter, and Claim D asserts the effectiveness of such meters in identifying phantom loads, all of which contribute relevant information to support the author's perspective.
