>If I leave my refrigerator open all day, it is guaranteed it will produce nothing of value.
This isn't true. I can put the back of my refrigerator in my doorway and use it to cool my house. "Leaving my refrigerator open all day isn't wasteful, because it cools my house and I use green energy to do it." This is essentially the logic used in this thread; it is a complete non sequitur.
I suppose one could say that whether or not it's wasteful to cool my home with my refrigerator is subjective, but most would say that's just being obtuse.
