Haven't you answered this yourself? 'Considering the energies involved', my bold below.

Because electromagnetic radiation, in whatever form, is a signature of...
Remember, these X-Rays were a big surprise for the mainstream, but EM radiation is expected by EU theories. I think it's time to stop splitting hairs!
