That's a very poor assumption.
I usually use my laptop plugged to external monitor, keyboard and mouse when at the office. I had to resort to gconf to teach Gnome to turn off the laptop screen instead of suspending, and until I discovered that I actually _could_, I passed a good week using the laptop semi-closed.
Hooray for usability advances.

Instead of expecting other people to be evil doers that want to break your system. Think of them as nice people that want to make it better for everyone, including you! As they are nice people they might make an oversight (and admit it), and they will be thrilled if you kindly pointed out an edge case and ask if it hasn't been covered.
Or more clearly, drop the hostile usability remarks. It is the daily work of many (even hackers) and many take great pride in helping others.
