I only have the 2003 edition:

I'm assuming that folding the end over counts as "special
preparation" which would imply that there should never be any need
to fold the ends.

Correct.



You can tell an amateur has done it when the wires are folded for no
good reason.

Thanks for all the replies to my original post - interesting to say the
least. I've always folded over the ends when installing a single cable
into a socket to ensure a better purchase - something I was advised to
do by an electrician of many years experience. One lives & learns.


Folding the end over for a single cable is for a good reason.
