Yes, that doesn't make sense, even aside from the fact that the 
connected UPS is about as likely to fail as the PS itself.  One of the 
big values of having dual power supplies with two power cords is that 
you can move the plugs from one outlet to another while it is still 
running (e.g. to replace the UPS, move to a new location while connected 
to a small UPS, or just to move the cord to a different outlet).
