Note that in most cases, this is fine. Your MacBook is designed to not use any battery when it's consuming a "full load" (think rendering videos, processing tons of data, getting hot, fans kicked on, etc) and plugged into a 67W charger
If you're just chilling and browsing the internet, even at less than 67W of power, your battery will start charging instead of discharging.
But if you're a power user and really pushing your MacBook, then you'll probably want a dedicated power supply that will give it 67W at all times.

there were units getting fried/coaster'd when using anything but the Nintendo charger. Nintendo did not build the thing to industry specs. Now that may have bee the oldest version or older versions, haven't researched what the recommendation on OLEDs is.
That is pretty interesting: 'two cases attributed'' to surge protectors when "a ground had developed on another circuit." So only two events out of millions of uses and only when there is a combination of things (one which should not occur in the first place) happening at the same time? LOL.
But I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. At most only puts a mild theorical risk to anyone's onboard electronics forgoing the use of a surge protector. Cruise ships are so densely packed (and no where to go) so a major fire could kill hundreds or thousands of people.

BTW, a short to ground and short circuit aren't actually the same thing.
