I'm going to add just a little fuel here.
If you were to talk with someone with a good knowledge of the code, as most of us here possess (and yes, that includes Yoopersup), and said "I'm going to tap a feeder circuit", we would want to know if we were talking 10', 25', outside unlimitted, et cetera. If that person came back and said, "no I don't mean that, I mean I am joining the conductors together with a wire nut", must of us would say "why did you call it a tap instead of a splice?"
Am I wrong in my logic here?
