> When I check tutorials on how to drill in the wall, there is (almost) no warning about how I could lose a finger doing so. It is expected that I know I should be careful around power tools.
I think the analogy and the example work better when the warning is that you should be careful when drilling in walls because there may be an electrical wire that will be damaged.
To your point, guides don't warn too much about electrical wires because code and practices makes it really hard to do. Code requires metal plates where electrical wires go through studs so you can't drill into them, and every stud finder in existence these days also detects AC behind them.
We didn't make the guides better, we made the tradespeople make it so any novice can't burn down the house by not following a poorly written tutorial.
If we're being pedantic, then I'd say "old stud finders" are still being sold (second hand for example), so "every stud finder for sale these days" isn't correct either.
Best to just say "most" or "some" to cover all corner cases :)
