No no Richard you should always clean them out, but if he doesn't cut his wire tails back and put them in the back box,
then you trim them short, and when you clean the box out you tap the fixed lug in a little so its not square.

I've also heard tell of putting extra marking nicks on the wires, or cutting off three nicks and putting one on etc

I have even seen an extra box complete with wires iit being put in a wall - just to flummox the sparkie.
