Yes! When I was a green apprentice, my boss used to carry one on his van.

I used bits of them as resistors sometimes. IIRC 1KW measured about 62Ω and I made a pair of loudspeaker dummy loads consisting of 4 quartersarranged as 2 singles and a pair giving me the option of ~4, 5.5. 8, 16Ω. the first time I took it into work to test an amplifier my boss tried to reach for the mains plug when he saw them glowing red.

Defining neutral as live after multiple decades.

Well I suppose there's the one we've all come across as green apprentices: the open neutral in a lighting circuit.

It's neutral, but it's live!

It may have been after multiple decades, but it was also multiple decades ago (4½ to be precise).

Are you still not used to it?

Live is the appropriate definition

It's current carrying and part of a circuit

Have you missed your morning coffee?

I'm not sure what your point is.
