Agreed especially since he mentioned soldeing the wires. The code

Soldering isn't a Code violation.

I dont know what the NEC says about soldering but its a bad idea.
Solder joints cant handle 20 amps of current unless they are made
extremely well. Ive known to many really fine electricians that
couldnt solder worth anything. Even a pretty good solder joint will
melt with 10 amps. Cycle the load on an off a few times and the joint
will soon have more resistance than the hair dryer someone had been
using on the circuit.

Complete nonsense (except for the part where you say you don't know what the
NEC says -- *that*, I believe).
