The immoral of these stories is that a connector, unless specifically rated for a certain insertion duty cycle, should not be subject to multiple re-insertion cycles. Components intended to interrupt load current and/or are rated for multiple insertion cycles should be ok and will serve the Empire well if used per the mfr's conditions of acceptability.

This is true, but for some widely-used connectors the manufacturers either don't give a clear specification or, for insertions, quote an incredibly low figure, which, if respected, would cause the connector to be rejected.
