I was using my wife's experience as content. I have a different perception of how to attack problems. She knows there is a power button 'somewhere' in the desktop environment. She knows clicking the mouse twice turns on the computer. However, luckily, clicking the mouse twice does not turn off the computer. Our power button is not easily accessible or recognized from the restart button (case design issue).
On your edit, I believe 'power-user' is a strong term. It was only a decade ago when pressing my power button could mean corrupting documents. These ideas stick.
Locking the computer when I walk away at work is common work. Leaving an unlocked computer at a financial institution is a dangerous scenario. These are Excel wizards, data entry, and so on who might be baffled by the premise of anything that is not Excel or Word.
Hitting the power button is not as intuitive as closing a laptop lid. The power button is considered dangerous except for turning on the computer by most normal users.
