But you wrote this, in response to a post about running (t+e) cables horizontally behind skirting boards.
Your quote doesn't appear to be ASKING a question, it appears to be a STATEMENT.
Would you like to withdraw this statement?

As has just been pointed out to you, you made a statement (not 'ask a question') that there was "Nothing wrong or dangerous" about the practice.
Well, if it's true, I think that telling one's kids "because it is against the law" would be quite a good start, although I agree that, if possible (some laws are pretty daft!) it's desirable that one should also explain why it is against the law ....
I think people have - but, in any event, you should not really need to be told why the regulations do not permit a T+E cable 'concealed' in a wall to be anywhere other than in a 'safe zone'.
If you really think that is is OK for such a cable to be behind skirting (and not in any 'safe zone'), do you also believe that it's equally OK to bury it anywhere in a wall (not in a 'safe zone') that takes your fancy? If not, what you you perceive as the difference?
Kind Regards, John
By the same logic, could this poster consider a cable could be run horizontally behind a skirting board, then all the way round a door frame behind the architrave?

No, if he had, it would have gone straight through a cable!
