that's not it at all. I'm an electronics expert, and in my professional
opinion wall warts are the work of Satan. Plain and simple. Electronics
engineers throughout the world have been possessed by evil demons, forcing
them to use these hellish devices in all their designs. They are intended
to bring pain and suffering upon mankind, a harbringer of the apocalypse!

You must resist the temptation of the hell-spawned wall wart! Do not allow
this evil into your life or risk eternal damnation for yourself and your
family! Throw this evil from your home immediately.  Raise your voice to
high heaven in protest of this scourge that the Dark Lord of Evil has
wrought upon us! It is your only hope for salvation, save yourself now!
