All of this shows the fallacy of, I think, software-commanded power off. Most people think that in order to turn something off, you have to throw a switch. If no switch was thrown, it can't possibly be "turned off".
I seem to recall from the "dark ages" some Macs that had no power switch at all. Software power-off. Some three-fingered salute was used to power it up. The only way to truly power it off was to unplug it.
