Yes, I understand. If your breakers work the way they should, then

they fail on occasion?
I think of them as a backup.


If you keep trying to find potential problems this way, you will
never wire your garage. After all - what is the difference between
and extension cord and a wired outlet? If that breaker failure
occurs, the impact is the same at the outlet as it is at the
extension cord. How do you think it is going to be any safer by not
using the extension cord?


Nothing is waiting on the extension cord. It just surprised me that
I was the
one who observed a difference between an extension cord and a wall
outlet. I would
have thought it more likely for our roles to have been reversed on
that detail.


I think it's more a matter that you believe you found a problem that is not
really a problem. Or... at least one that is so easily addressed as to make
it moot. Your mention of a breaker failure is what I addressed and the
extension cord has no association with a breaker failure, that is any
greater than anything else that is tied to a breaker or plugged into a wall,
or even hardwired for that matter.
