Having receptacles and lights on the same circuit is poor practice.

I'd be interested to hear your reasoning for this. My simplified code
book suggests otherwise for general outlets (not appliance or special
purpose outlets):

"It is better to have the load consist of a mixture of lights and plugs.
This gives better load diversity on the circuit and less chance of a
complete blackout in case of circuit failure."
