Yeah he would only make a scene or whatever if Chuck was aware of its presence.
I'm saying Jimmy had electricity around Chuck a lot without Chuck knowing.

I don't think so. A respect for someone isnt just the shit they can see bammer.

YOU ARE WRONG.
I'll PM the show runners to confirm. Be right back...
I feel like you haven't been watching the show, Bammer. Jimmy loves his brother, defended him all the time, and went out of his way to appease his brother and do what was best for Chuck.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

He wasn't testing anything. He already knew it was entirely mental and out of respect for his brother never exposed him or let him become humiliated. He patronized and appeased him out of the love and respect he had for his brother.
Only when Chuck damaged something important to Kim did Jimmy even attempt to undermine him.

OMG nevermind
Yes bammer, Jimmy could have kept secret battery powered items in his clothing and chuck would have never known. But Jimmy, the character that he is, respected his brothers wishes, even if he felt they were silly... so he didn't do that.
