This is good discussion, my point of the original post was just a warning about the push in wiring. Yes I know it is allowed, my point, I have never seen a tightly screwed in connection fail, while I have seen a few of the push in wire connections fail.

There are some handymen that will be able to change the wiring (to screw connection) or replace the switch/receptacle as necessary. I only posted this as some of these components may be approaching end of life.
