I think what Mike means here is that if you had batteries installed, and
wired the A/C adapter directly to the same circuit, the higher voltage would
feed back into the batteries, like an unregulated charger, and you can
definitely cause a fire trying to charge non-rechargeable batteries.

Well a wall-wart is a more stable power source than batteries. What do you
mean by 'incorrectly'?
