This is getting absurd. Do you think the meter is going to get up off the
ground, climb the wall, and reinstall itself into the base?

I considered doing that (connecting generator that way) once but never
did it because of the small risk of severe consequences.

I guess if you don't trust yourself to throw the main breaker, and/or don't
trust other members of your household to leave it alone, then this makes
sense.
