Both of Kirchhoff's laws
are flatly contradicted by the Maxwell equations, and
both are routinely violated in practice.
2) Ground loops are a familiar example of a gross
violation of K's voltage law.
This is important in the real world. Anybody who does
any kind of low-noise instrumentation probably needs
to deal with violations of Kirchhoff's laws on a daily
basis. This includes physics-lab instrumentation as
well as other stuff such as medical instrumentation.
There's a lot more that could be said about this if
anybody's interested.
