It's not nonsense, though. It's just a generalization.
Here's another generalization: A car typically weighs between 1 and 3 tons, and typically travels on the highway between at speeds between 50 and 80MPH.
This generalization misses (many!) rather common outliers, and that's OK since it not meant to be particularly precise. That's the way of generalizations: They're generalized.
Meanwhile, please take a moment to read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
yes, i agree that it's reasonable to talk about the typical weight of cars. that is because they vary over many fewer orders of magnitude than the weights of objects made out of atoms or the bandwidths of submillimeter-wave signals, so it makes sense to talk about 'outliers' and edge cases such as golf carts and tanks. by contrast, there is no sense in which that is true of the bandwidths of submillimeter-wave signals, in part because they are mostly not of human origin, so your implied analogy is invalid
but, as i explained, that's not the only dimension along which the statement is nonsense; millimeter waves also don't deliver any hertz of bandwidth. it's a really multifaceted gem of cluelessness
the implication of the last line of your comment seems to be that you think i am not familiar with the site's guidelines, but it is unclear why. perhaps you think criticism of the ieee's editorial and human resources choices runs counter to the guidelines? perhaps you think there is nothing to be learned from my criticism? you'll have to be more specific if you want to have a substantive conversation
