I have seen a lot of the electrical problems being caused by poor workmanship when the employee uses a twist lock to connect two wires. When I find one I fix it and then wrap the incoming wires to the twist lock with a electrical tape.

Not me ... every wire connection like this I come across gets soldered and enclosed in shrink wrap ... never any subsequent connection issues. :B

You solder and shrink wrap Romex ?
Not sure where Romex enters into this conversation but sure, it too is just wire so soldering connections beats merely twisting the wires together and wrapping them with electrical tape that will only dry and loosen over time. With solid wire I'd at the very least twist the connection together then secure / insulate it with a suitably sized Marrette Connector, then enclose the entire thing with shrink wrap rather than tape to ensure it doesn't ever come apart.
