If you are taking about your posts, then yes, you are insulting people.  It’s clear and apparent.  And rude.

My question is, more fully fleshed out, continues to be, if P=IV and voltage goes down and amperage goes up and therefore input wires get hot, why can’t or won’t electrical chips fail.  I assume power remains constant, so either it is design to reach a cutoff and shut down, or it is designed to take the heat load, because something has to give.  Maybe power doesn’t remain constant.  You seem to be a guy in the know.

I distinctly recall chips used to ‘pull up’ low voltage in circuits lab so downstream circuits ran on proper voltage and I believe I recall being able to burn those chips up due to low voltage inputs (too much heat).  Now, given your experience in your particular field, maybe industrial designs don’t work the way all the rest of the world’s engineers learn about in electrical circuits laboratories.  I even assume production electronics designs robust systems that won’t fail at realistic voltage brownouts.

However, if you cannot effectively explain this to your parents, other technical people, or even another engineer, the issue here is not technical ignorance by another, but your inability to communicate your point to enlighten others.  We all understand the same physics, they don’t change.

Personally, I agree that whole house shock absorbers solve all sorts of problems and that electrical motors burn up at low voltage.  You lost me on electronics because you didn’t explain the why.  You just implied everyone else was an idiot.
