One of the things you will learn about Phil is that he suffers from a congenital fixation with the fallacy of illicit transference - meaning that what is true of the parts is true of the whole. My cat is grey, therefore all cats are grey (apologies to Ben Franklin).

There are unique conditions in which an isolation transformer does not prevent the risk of electric shock. Therefore they increase the risk of electric shock.

Idiots will find a way to solve for the most idiot-proof safety measures as conceived, because they were not conceived by idiots. And if one inserts one's self into an electrical circuit, one will be shocked.

If you want to twist the dragon's tail, just get Phil started on newly-made multi-section can-caps.
