Your stock answer is simply misinformed at best and way over the top w/

one thing.

Obviously, the OP posted insufficient information which resulted in
so many posted based in valid assumptions. ...

Snip rest of also possibly/probably? invalid assumptions and "not
necessarily" recommendations...

As only one example, I've seen quite a lot of basically 2-wire houses
that _do_ have 3-wire to appliances as that was pretty much standard for
them from "way back" -- or they had conduit w/ ground supplied that way.
There still is really no _urgent_ need for simple lighting and duplex
outlet circuits to have ground as, for the most part, the appliances and
lights that go into them don't have grounding plugs or ground fixtures
on them, anyway...
