Er, I didn't finish that, it should read ...
   "Use what you want, balance your security needs versus effort,
    but don't poor-excuse your way into thinking it's more secure
    by making statements that just are not technically accurate."

It's more than just that!  Although it's not as bad as CRTs, you
need to be worried about discharging the capacitors before dorking
with a PS.  Hence why you should go servicing PSes or CRTs if you
don't know what you're doing.

Stick with the "low voltage" components.
