It's also a reason why it's safe practice that a DIY power cord with a 3-pole IEC connector should always have a ground wire, even if it's intended for an audio component with an ungrounded IEC inlet. On the other hand, if the entry hole for the ground prong is *permanently* blocked within the IEC connector, perhaps that's enough to ensure the safety of the power cord, if and when it might fall into the hands of an unsuspecting user in the future.
