    This is how superstitions start.

    " It’s bad luck to put your shoes on the table"

    Okay Grandma, if that’s what it takes for you to accept germ theory, I’m in.

      Just tell them to unplug and plug back in without the added step about blowing on it. I tell people to do that all the time when a plugged device doesn’t work. Fixes things all the time.

      Yup, superstitions like “blowing on the NES cartridge to remove dust will make it work.”

        In some cases this could introduce enough moisture to get a connection.

          And could also corrode the cartridge. I knew a guy whose son absolutely ruined a Pokémon 3DS cartridge that way.
