Which ironically is precisely what you do when you've been proven
wrong about (whatever).

You may like to explain the voodoo behind photovoltaic cells, since
you claim they don't work by induced currents from the visible light
spectrum? Don't try to claim they are not 'conductors', or
semiconductors, or don't use metal, because they are and do.

Since you asked, it's called the photoelectric effect, which you've
surely heard of before. Billions of other people have.
