Because with the clips you can yank the wires off when they short
together and catch fire.

Now I'm going to preach a little.  You're a reasonable guy, but you
still have a basic attitude of cutting corners with electrical stuff
instead of doing it the right way.  You need to ditch this attitude
completely or sure as God made little green apples, some day down the
road you're going to be responsible for someone or something getting
hurt.  'Nuff said?
