Since it's a resonance of radio-frequency waves, the parent's not really in error.
And why is that? How does resonance alter the fact that the radiation is non ionizing and therefore not cancer causing.
The comment you're replying to isn't debating that point, I think. They're saying "you got the precise acronym wrong, but what you did write is still technically correct".
