This is all reasonably accurate. Source: electrician, who worked at a supply store for a while. I've had people ask how to make all kinds of stupid cords.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't fool with electricity

Unionized Kobold electricians. Hmm.

The problem is that people read a few things on the internet, think they're now suddenly domain experts, and do it anyway.

Oh I know.

I've talked to them.

Don't do it. If you haven't actually worked with an electrician for at least two or.three years, just leave the repairs and shit jobs for people like me.

If you can't explain why the white wire is incorrectly called a neutral in single-phase systems, don't touch it.
