RE: BS You said it yourself: "... most of the cases ...". For example, my apartment does not have a carpet and I wear cotton clothing most of the time. So my enviroment is less likely to produce static electricity. But what about others? Its all in the numbers: 1.000.000 units sold (just for stats sake) - 10.000 open it up, 100 have static issues due floor, clothing, etc - some units will fry and die. Totally avoidable, hence the remark in the video.
