Using the Multimodal Activity Sensing Dataset (MASD; 27 activities, 20 participants), the study tests whether ambient WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) can substitute for a body-worn inertial measurement unit (IMU) in human activity recognition; the authors find that the dataset's released machine-learning-ready files expose a degraded signed CSI representation rather than the documented amplitude, so they rebuild amplitude and antenna-ratio Doppler from the raw complex CSI, recover omitted participant identifiers, and re-evaluate subject-independently under a controlled multi-seed protocol, finding WiFi systematically weak: every backbone they try reaches only 6-11% weighted accuracy on the 27-class set against 73-80% for IMU, with usable accuracy on 0 of 27 activities; the corrected r
