Nah, some electronics just have residual power in their system somewhere like in capacitors.
Unplugging and replugging with only a couple of seconds or so in between is not enough for it to fully shut down. It can keep corrupted information in their ram.
10 seconds at least, but I get when they ask for 30 seconds just to make sure.
I knew someone who convinced his grandma that “bugs” were literal insects that ate electricity (there are ants that are actually attracted to electricity so it’s not a stretch) so you have to turn things off long enough that they lose interest.
That’s IT speak for “I don’t believe you.” We’ve been hurt before.
