Well no, it's not necessarily a way of cutting corners. The regs describe the test, but my question is what benefit does it bring if the results are still going to be influenced by equipment

Its a handy method for EICRs when you either cant disconnect everything, or are unsure of any loads that are connected without your knowledge.
IT equipment should not give false readings unless they incorporate filters and this is rare. IEC leads should never give false readings. Testing an office last night nothing unplugged all circuits above 100 meg. Shaver socket is a new one on me and I think you need to ask if such things and IEC leads give false readings then they are faulty.( Is it a reason to start splitting ring up ... or is that cheating )
Localise !
Never mind IT equipment plenty of naff IEC cables out there !
(IEC leads may test good at 120V for some reason ...)
