Doug;
The problem occurs when some unknowing person say's "why is this breaker
off?" And turn's it on. It's best to wire nut off unused lines at both
ends. You can leave the spare breaker in the panel off or on wouldn't
matter at that point.
Why's all this matter. Cause people sell houses. And, years later, the
original homeowner may forget about the modification, and the new homeowner
may, at his curiosity, turn it [the breaker] on.
