While I'm reluctant to get very caught up in overworking this one,
the fact that the short leads were fried does not lead to the
conclusion that long hv leads are perfectly fine. Neither does the
fact that you are using this method.
My statement did not mean to say that short leads would afford
protection against the results of a poor job. I am saying that if I
could choose, I'd rather have a shorter range of potential
destruction.
