All true but it's still hard to believe the "average house" over 75% in

because I'm sure my house is far below average in numbers of these
devices so I suspect my estimate of "average" is skewed as compared to
the sample mean.

That's not what the article said. This is: "In the average home, 75% of the
electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are
turned off."
....

That is what I inferred, if you'll simply read what I wrote, but my
incredulity still exists as noted even for that mix...
