it would have to have the right form factor that is currently chic to get any sort of respect :-//
I think technical people are delusional to think that others spent as much time on education as they did lol
Think about what sequence of events would put you in their position. More then likely you would be placed in some manager or communication position in their organization.... the phrase you will hear is 'this guy thinks too much to work in 'team' (crew) '

Copper is removed and sold for scrap from operational substations. I'm not surprised that cables are cut to separate the copper from the gear. Sell gear, sell copper.
If care was taken, you'd pay more.

Then again, 99% of problems with electrical systems are cabling related. Better use known-good cables rather than some random cables from Ebay. Some people obsess over getting generic probes with scopes. When I buy an oscilloscope, the probes that come with it go into the bin unless they are really special or brand new, good quality probes.
pdenisowski:
It's not just non-technical people who do this. For some cable television technicians, they do service de-installations by simply cutting the coax near the tap instead of unscrewing the F-connector. But because the remaining "pigtail" is still plugged into the tap, the center conductor often acts as a small antenna and can create serious egress issues (i.e. cable television signals propagating over the air and interfering with licensed spectrum holders like cellular network operators).
Ask me how I know :)
