Back when I was younger and poorer I rented a trailer house to live in. While there one day I noticed a haze in the hallway. Upon further investigation I found that the outlet in a bedroom was melting. Turns out that it was on the same circuit as the living room outlets where I had a heater plugged in. The problem was that the wires would expand and contract as the heater warmed up the #14 wires, this created a bad connection where the wires were splices under the 2 screws. The insulation on the wire was melted back several inches and the wall plate was warped from the heat. That is my safety reason to not out them under the 2 screws. The other reason is that's how I was taught to do it :). You sure are right that you very seldom have to change out an outlet due to it being bad. I have replaced nails in my tires with screws before to stop a leak, does that count for anything?
