Oh god no. It’s not about feeding in 16A, it’s about consuming 16A thereby overloading the wiring. If everything else is OK, trying to consume 16A should trip the fuse, still - if that doesn’t work, you’ll get a certain (normally very small) fire risk.
I mean as a female socket it could have the “fat holes” - because the current limiting interface is the thin, male part that goes into the outlet. It’s not like a consumer will feed back 16 power into the outlet.

Okay, fair point, but that’s the same issue as connecting muliple consumers to the same wall outlet via an extension cord / multisocket.

We’re still taking about electrical sockets… right?
