- dsfyu404ed 8y agoMy point still stands. Most corner cutting (is it even corner cutting if the safety requirement isn't there in the first place?) will turn out fine unless you cut the same corner every day of your life or cut a ton of corners at once. If that weren't the case every electrician that ever tagged out a breaker with a piece of tape and a note saying to check to make sure X isn't still being worked on would be dead.
