Well...THIS makes it much clearer!!! It's from an ad!
The man is a model, not an electrician.
The entire set-up here was designed by a photographer's crew from an ad agency, not electrical contractors or engineers.
The photog tells the model how to pose....then +kaPOOF+ picture taken (easy on the flash-powder here).
What was that other picture of anti-short bushings for BX being used incorrectly? It was also from an ad for those little things.
