And just what basis do you have for this claim? The only thing a breaker cares about is how many amps are flowing, at how many volts and how hot is it where it is.
I do agree it is good practice to turn the breaker off before plugging in to prevent arcing of the plug contacts.
Contacts get worn and spread apart. causing it to jump.. It is not a smooth contact... Basically plug is gone south because of use. Simple!!!!!
