By the way, I often see electricians wirenutting wires without
twisting them. This too is dangerous. Yes, I have done it for a
temporary connection, but not permanent.

Some wire nuts are designed specifically for _untwisted_ wires, and if
you twist them first you may be _weakening_ the connection.
