Fair enough. Perhaps what I meant was that taping would (might?) make
the crimped area behave more like the rest of the cable, i.e. increase
the support (that's a better description perhaps) for the conductors to
something approaching that of the sheathed conductors. The idea being
that the crimped area was not more flexible than the rest of the cable -
not that any of it should be subject to flexing ;-)
