it draws 12 amps, a 12 amp appliance will not draw more than 12 amps, that's not how it works

This is wrong, your breaker amperage should not be the same the outlet amperage. Also, there is no current flowing until a load is connected. Most household loads don't pull anywhere close to 10A. This comment is just completely wrong.
