Are you saying there are laptops with batteries that don't fall in this dangerous category, or are you saying people don't know that all laptop batteries fall in this category?

There are people who think their laptops do not have a battery at all and run on their own power like a human does.

I know people that still believe that the power for cordless drills gets transmitted from the charger to the drill via something like wifi. They're super-careful not to stand in the LOS between the drill and the charger.

Some people probably shouldn't operate power tools. Then again, with that level of caution, they are probably safer than many "experts".
