That stood out to me as well when I read the article.

The multimeter in the photo has the probes plugged into the volts/ohms jack, though. Maybe it was a different meter.

I figured this was going to be a story about trying to measure voltage with the meter set up on the 10A current range.

yeah i don't think he took a photo of the multimeter to use in the article before unplugging it. he didn't yet know it was important
