All depends on how you assess risk doesn't it? Electrocution through
inquisitive sticking of implements into sockets or even plugs with
fingers wrapped round the back probably has a very low likelihood, with
very severe consequences. When you can eliminate that likelihood
altogether through a one of cost of under a fiver I personally think
it's worth doing.
