What I want to know is what is the science called of placing outlets and switches exactly where furniture goes?

You've heard of the Chinese art on Feng Shui? The Chinese art of locating outlets and switches in places that get covered by furniture is called Fook Uho. Every interior designer studies that.

Good design? Maybe during the Great Depression when a home had one light bulb and one radio.

The majority of those $5 extension cords are generally a fire waiting to happen. They are useful if you plug nothing more than a lamp in to one. Nor should one just leave them lay about on the floor, behind furniture or not.
