Yes, I do realize this, which is why I still would not prefer the electricity to be completely cut from my device(s). Sometimes (but not always), even if a device appears to be off, the small current flowing through it is helping to hold some sort of user settings. When the power is completely cut, the device must switch to its backup battery to retain the settings. While saving some serious wattage in the long run, this device will ultimately cause the usually-cumbersome-to-replace backup battery to drain rather quickly.
