INT. WAREHOUSE CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY
Ernie gets up and takes the place of Rosalie as well as her pointer ticker. Rosalie sits down. Ernie clicks to an animation of flashing and throbbing tissues inside the creature.
ERNIE
The thing is, the creature is generating a frequently repeated signal consisting of what analysis shows to be packets of binary information conveyed via a modulating and demodulating carrier wave at a consistent frequency of two-point-four gigahertz. Do you realize what this means?
HARRY
I’m a doctor, Ernie, not an electrical engineer.
ERNIE
Well, I’m not sure exactly how to say this, Dr. Lal, so I guess I’ll just say it.

The Creature is trying to connect to WiFi.

Wait. Wouldn’t Ernie know that WiFi is never actually at 2.4 GHz, but instead jumps around in various bands located between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz?
So, if the Creature is sending and receiving at 2.4 GHz, it’s not actually going to be able to interact with any WiFi equipment.
Or is Ernie just dumbing down a bit too far for his audience?
Could be it’s only trying one of the channels?
