   Yup, because I already know the answer.

   What's a muhammedan?   
      
   I'm just using Socratic questioning.  That was the educational method   
   used by the Greek philosopher/teacher Socrates:  it focuses on   
   discovering answers by asking questions of students.

   Why?  Because you can't come to admit that if the socket isn't providing   
   good electrical contact, it can't function as intended?  Because that's   
   why the presence of a socket makes no difference for a voltage spike.
