Most appliances draw hardly any power. One could easily put
four electronic appliances onto the same wall receptacle and
still not even consume 1/4 of what that wall receptacle must
supply. Number of appliances connected to a wall receptacle
is irrelevant as is the fuse in each cord. If all fuses are 15
amps or less, then no overloading is possible.

Wrong! Unsafe advise! It is entirely possible to overload a circuit with
multiple appliances. According to what you are saying you could connect an
infinite number of correctly operating devices and not overload the circuit!
You have come up with some bull**** before but this tops it all. Defining
new laws of physics now? Just what typical appliances have fuses greater
than 15 amps?

Number of appliances is irrelevant? Give me a break! It is the total draw
of the connected appliances that is relevant, and the max possible of each
should be considered. Fuses are for protection in the event of failure in
each unit, not to assure that overloading a circuit under normal or max
operating conditions is prevented.
