Unless you had a gun pointed at you ... there are very few reasons you'd "have to" do that.

unplugging it while it's on can't be that bad, compare it to a power outage, you might have a few new bad sectors. plugging it back in, to me seems like it would be like turning the power on, but if someone knows for sure feel free to correct me

Quite correct but thats only considering the mechanics (platters and stuff); the circuitry might not be so sensitive to that. You do make a valid point however
