Strictly for grounding continuity, here is part of 250.148 that spells it out. [Linked Image]

Quote
250.148 Continuity and Attachment of Equipment Grounding Conductors to Boxes.
Where circuit conductors are spliced within a box, or terminated on equipment within or supported by a box, any separate equipment grounding conductors associated with those circuit conductors shall be spliced or joined within the box or to the box with devices suitable for the use. Connections depending solely on solder shall not be used. Splices shall be made in accordance with 110.14(B) except that insulation shall not be required. The arrangement of grounding connections shall be such that the disconnection or the removal of a receptacle, luminaire (fixture), or other device fed from the box will not interfere with or interrupt the grounding continuity.

That quote I gave you from the 75 NEC was the official intrepretation of the PG county Md in 1978. I highlighted it in my book when the inspector pointed it out to me.
"Twisted" was what he said "shall be in good electrical contact with each other " meant.
I didn't see wirenuts om EGCs until I got to Florida.
