Absolutely, what's the controversy in this thread? (not that you're
creating it) Meters do what they purport to do, and as long as one
recognizes that it is a qualitative, relative measurement i.e. comparing
moisture presence in a portion of the hull high above the water line to
sections below -with the anti-fouling removed first of course- the
values given do provide useful information IF it's interpreted correctly.

There isn't any controversy - it was initiated by somebody taking
offense at some definitions - got a little huffy about it.

Of course, once asked some questions just for clarification, that
person disappeared, but hey...

No controversy all.
