Sorry if I made you feel bad. I see how you can take it personally.
A Little knowledge is dangerous in electricty.
"especially in lamps, where there is a safety hazard if the barrel of the bulb holder is "hot".
True. However you are supposed to unplug the lamp first :-)
If you mean ceiling fixtures, that could be a problem.
I have worked in an electronic lab that had ground faults.
It was possible to hook up test equipment from different benches
that would cause problems.
When I was a kid I used to work on electronic stuff, without shoes, in the garage
(cement floor) in the summer. I quickly learned to ground equipment with a wire to a steel pipe driven into the earth.
Again, I'm sorry. I was trying to be cute and ironical.
