"[A] series of electrical pulses and that causes your systems to do something stupid" is a hell of a euphemism for e.g. cyber-bullying resulting in homicide and/or suicide; infrastructure attacks; wire fraud and theft; blackmail; conspiracy; etc. Your definition could even cover a remotely detonated bomb. It's like saying no, I didn't shoot that person, I just gave momentum to a bullet that caused their body to do something stupid and they died.
