I agree, John. In many years of domestic sparking I have never had the need to terminate pyro. We did a couple of hours of 'pyro-mania' at college (236) - in the good old days when the C&G was a proper craft qualification - but there was no level of competence gains as a result of the process from any of my classmates!
It is a skill, you need the proper tools to make a half decent job of it. Strippers, pot wrenches, etc. And a lot of practise.
I do remember that there was a lot of routines on carrying out IR tests on the MICC before and after terminating, and what to do if results were not up to scratch.
