I don't understand why this is true. Try poking holes in your woofers or tweaters or damaging the transistor and/or antenna on an old TV or radio. This will definitely affect the quality of what the transceiver receives. Much in the same way LSD or a jackhanner would affect the brain. ??

No. When you drink a bunch of alcohol, you can't do math very well. It's not that your thinking process is still working fine but it just can't receive/trasmit the signals properly -- your thinking process itself is messed up.
