Many appliance use more power "off" than on (collectively).

Uh, cite? No, never mind, the above statement is just

If e.g. a PC uses 5 watts "off" and 200 watts "on" it's not rocket
science to figure out what fraction of time it must be used for the
"on" power to equal or exceed the "off" power. I suspect plenty of
PC's don't make the cut (or do, but just barely).
