I'm not an idiot, I understand wiring, and I'm not going to wire the hot into the common or otherwise fuck it up.
I think I'm going to break the law here.
If you're sure you know what you're doing, may as well. I don't know enough to trust myself with wiring. Which is unfortunate because my house has old wiring and I'd have a more enjoyable existence if it was updated, but that's on a "someday" timetable unfortunately.
