I don't agree.

Cables are plugged and unplugged on a regular basis, and unplug/replug is a
good first "what's wrong with my network" before going to see if the DSL
model is still alive...  Now you wonder what the cable on my laptop has to do
with Homenet... well, because my laptop is running virtual machines, and
since I want them on the network, I'd have a homenet daemon on my laptop.

Lots of non-technical people unplug all the cables from their router in order
to power cycle it, because... who knows which wire is the important one?

Old people are never quite sure if the RJ45 is seated properly, I've noticed,
so they might replug each cable a few times over a one minute interval.
