Factual error: In the diner scene, after killing the gunman, Robert shoves a single knife into an electric outlet, shorting out all the lights. To short out any circuit you must cross metal between both positive and negative wires. Also, the lights wouldn't be on the same circuit as the outlets. He wouldn't short out the entire store.
