Michael,
   With all due respect, you are wrong. A bad PRAM battery will cause problems 
on a machine that is fully plugged in. They are often subtle and non-repeatable 
(hence my procedure to diagnose involving over 48 hours), but they do happen. 
In the past I have fixed problems this way, so I know that this is the case. 
You may not have seen this, but that does not change things.
