However, it was enough to confuse the owners of the RT Examiner website, who promptly highjacked the information, and proudly displayed it as an excellent description of the underlying principles of their electronic dowsing gadget.

I have to agree.
I even saw the words "THIS IS A SCAM" cleverly encoded in your post.
And who could be more qualified to claim it is "gobbledygook / techo-babble" intended as a spoof than the actual author of the spoof?
As long as the "Avramenko's fork" episode remains on the Rangertell website, we will have a classic monument to LRL-itis gone astray.
Why would a manufacturer latch onto "gobbledygook / techo-babble" as science facts?
Perhaps the answer was best sung in a song from the Broadway play "Barnham" ....
There is a sucker
Born every minute.
And the biggest one
excluding none
is me!
