Never mind.
When I first read your message, it took it to mean that electricians
that used electrical tape were trying to kill you.

I'm glad we got that straightened out.

Are you implying that anything has been suggested that is not an
accepted wiring method?

Ideally wires going into a wire nut will have only so much bare wire
so that that bare wire is entirely underneath the nut and you only see
insulated wire coming out the bottom. It seems like by design there's
maybe a 1/4" of insulation tucked up in the nut (measuring from the
nut's bottom edge).
My question is what if one of the wires in the nut has its insulation
cut point at about level with the nut's bottom. So that if you look
straight on from the side you don't see any bare wire, but if you tilt
the nut so you can underneath it you can see the bare wire just above
the rim.
I can't imagine this really matters, but thought i'd check first. I'm
finding this happening to me occasionally as I do a project. It's
when I've got 4 #12's to fit in a red wire nut. I twist them with my
klein's first (as directed by the inspector). Occasionally, although
the wires start with the same amount of bare wire all lined up, one of
those wires slips down a bit during the twist, so that if I were to
cut off the bare twist so that that one wire will stick up well in the
nut, the rest of the wires would be pretty short.
Thanks for any advice.

You run the risk of an inspector deciding that the tape is
being used to hide sloppy workmanship, and tear it off to
check.
It's better to avoid needing it in the first place. Lining
up insulation ends, twisting, and then clipping the wires
even is a good way to avoid this problem altogether.
