No.... 'll try to keep this a simple as possible:

3 prong power : the third hole is for the ground lead.. The ground lead is typically connected to a metal chassis, and is safer path should a short occur..

2 prong power: is mostly double insulated and gives another type of protection from a short...

Switching the cables isn't advice cause when a short occurs you and you touch the device it can kill you

Not sure why the thread just didn't end here!
