I did that as a (stupid) kid. I did obviously survive. But it was one of the few sockets that wasn’t really protected with fuses, so the result was a power-outage for the whole street, and a few guys with fancy protective clothing (against high-voltage) came to fix this…

I’d still call it extrapolation, it creates new stuff, based on previous data. Is it novel (like science) and creative? Nah, but it’s new. Otherwise I couldn’t give it simple stuff and let it extend it.
