My problem with the 8P and some other later Simpsons is those stupid

Extra low? Never had a standard banana type arc or cause a problem this
way, and used them up to at least several hundred volts. The Simpsons
used them from the 3 series until the 7 series, IIRC.

Not a question of them working - but one of safety.



I don't really see them being any safer. Regular bananas have been safely
used for decades plus. I don't doubt that somewhere along the line somebody
probably sued somebody and this is why we now have those ridiculous inverted
bananas, but I won't accept them for normal applications.
