You seem to have an insufficient understanding of how wireless communication protocols work, in particular the 'communication' aspect. Simply detecting the signal would not allow you to use the WiFi network. You would have to establish a connection with the access point and actively and continuously exchange information with it, thereby directly using its resources.

This is not the same as coming across a fallen coin in the street, or reading by ambient light emitted by someone else's candle

[Jerrrry]

Reading by the ambient light emitted is constantly exchanging photons, which is information communication. Picking up a fallen coin is displacing localized complexity.

If it wasn't, you wouldn't be given any extra photons to bounce off the book and into your eyes, and wouldn't know of the candle across the street, since the photons were "insufficient" to make themselves known to you.

Again, pedantically deconstructing a technical analogy to dismiss it on its merits is going to be hard when faced with a more pedantic pissant.

The point of the entire exercise is to acknowledge the collective vs individual contributions to the emergent tragedy of the commons.

Wrong. You don't emit photons

> Picking up a fallen coin is displacing localized complexity.

That's a meaningless statement

It's an analogy that doesn't work, picking apart the differences is revealing

> The point of the entire exercise is to acknowledge the collective vs individual contributions to the emergent tragedy of the commons.

Another meaningless statement
