The eternal physicist-engineer standoff in its natural habitat. Physicist says "100% efficiency is impossible due to thermodynamics" and the engineer responds by pulling out a space heater. Because when your goal is to convert electricity into heat, suddenly that pesky second law of thermodynamics becomes your best friend. Resistance heating devices are essentially 100% efficient at their job - turning electrical energy into thermal energy (and disappointment). It's the engineering equivalent of saying "well, actually..." but with hardware.
