Sure, I see the point and completely agree with you.

It's just that I've just always wondered about those people.
If they received snail mail from a stranger (or a somewhat odd mail
from a correspondent or a friend of theirs) possibly addressed
to someone else and that mail contained a piece of equipment
of which they couldn't tell what it does and included instructions for
it and a request that they'd use it, would they really use that device?
And would they really use a device even when it seemingly did look
suspicious?
("Suspicious" being an electric device with a metallic handle and
instructions telling to hold on to a radiator when using it,
or electric device to be used in a bath,
or one with circular blades moving up and down the handle,
or anything like that.)

Looks like a minute and a half to me, so no need to apologize.
