There's a difference between ignorance and stupidity. What this guy doesn't know, he can probably learn. Give him the link to GuitarNuts and have him take a look around. It ain't all gospel, but it sure beats what the manufacturers stick us with.

As a 'for instance', the AC isolation capacitor they recommend as protection against shock hazard can cause grounding noise problems, so I prefer to use a tester to check the outlet before I plug in, and I keep my gear well maintained.
