85W power supply on a 13" MBP?

There is a possibility that the 60W power adapter won't provide sufficient power to both charge the battery while you are using the computer.
You are confusing CURRENT with POWER.

I understand electrical theory very well; guess YOU don't understand. By using a 60 watt power supply on a machine designed for the 85 watt power supply - since both computers need the same voltage - you run the risk of trying to draw too much CURRENT from the power supply. (A well designed power supply should include thermal overload protection that will shut it down in over current situations.)

Despite your claim that you are knowledgeable of electrical theory, power, current, and voltage are different. I'm not nitpicking.
