Why do people twist CPC's?

I like “screwit” type connectors, they are very effective, insulated, and safe. I have never found one which did not make a positive connection unlike choc-blocks, or other things. In the US they are pretty much the only connectors used anywhere. This technique shown here is pretty horrible, but then so are a lot of jobs by the rough end of the industry.

I have never had any problems with choc blocks. They have two screws and both can be used if conductors are pushed right through the body. Also it is reassuring to feel the tightness of the screws which indicate the security of the termination. Personally I like to see the final result. With other methods the result is hidden and unknown.
