Well it`s a bit frightening really, if you let it get to you.
There have always been people who are totally wrong about some aspects. many aspects, of wiring a plug but amazingly compounded by these so-called aids to have at least one glaring omission of some good practice we were all taught by anyone half decent.
I have had people being offended because someone commented on their own handiwork of wiring a plug and they show it to me and say "Whats wrong with that?" in indignation and you think to yourself sometimes "Blooming heck, whats actually right with it?" so you patiently tell themhow to do it correctly without trying to cause offence" some still have indignation and show you some instructions they have read and hey presto those instructions are not good, sometimes very poor indeed.
The "Old Chestnut" so often encountered, even with the best of a bad lot, is no thought about the easy way of encouraging the last pull out to be E.
There are lots of other common "Old Chestnut" but the last pull out defence is very often omitted on otherwise half decent attempts.
