Good grief. I knew I was going to get some **** about this, but a well
soldered and insulated splice in a spacious conduit with wide sweeping
turns is hardly dangerous, the damn code be damned. There's about a one
in ten billion chance it will go short or open in the lifetime of the
house, and if it does either, it's STILL not dangerous or difficult to
diagnose or repair. If the retired homeowner on a fixed income wants to
save a few bucks on wire, let him splice the **** if he knows how.
Millions of people survived the advent of electricity before there were
all these laws to protect us from ourselves.
Please stop giving electrical advice.

No. You want to give code advice, fine. I'll give common sense advice
all I want.

But you aren't doing that. You obviously have an extreme distaste for
what you perceive as being told what to do. That greatly colors your
view so you think it is normal and "common sense" but really only to you.
