I would imagine fire would be the biggest concern if the neutral lug (or other connection of the neutral) allowed the infamous 240V series to smoke a few appliances.

Ground reference may be lost in places with poor soil, and poor grounding.

Someone in a panic to unplug said smoking appliances could be hurt by burn or electrocution.

Just MHO...

Any additional comments?
