How do you know that unplugging the old stove, and plugging in the
new didn't cause the loose connection in the outlet box, allowing for
the noise condition? Did the installer attach a dedicated ground
strap from the stove to the outlet fault return?

You are an assuming dip.

You're silly. The standby watchdog circuits in products that do
have them are very tiny, low consumption devices. They also have very
low RF emission, if any at all. Try again.

The discussion is about performing a test for EMI from a product in
an "open field" setting. One takes a "baseline" reading of the local
RFI/EMI noise in the area, THEN one applies power to the device one
wants to test for noise emission. This is the same thing I stated
above.

Might be a gas stove, dumbbell. They're plugged into regular
branch circuits.

Here's one with an embedded computer:

You display your ignorance. There is no flaw in the test procedure.

She gives "off the wall" a whole same meaning.
