Reply to "Theoretical Electrical Questions: Do more feed wires means less heat?"

Interesting observation about ease of manipulating wires, with regard to their stiffness. I’ve recently thought about house type wiring and always used 12 ga. I see a lot of 14 ga now for lighting which makes sense, especially when using LED lighting. Although there are some issues coming up with switching power supplies with harmonics  heating up the wiring. I wonder about wiring outlets with 14 ga. Say circuits fused to 15 ac amps. A lot more flexible than 12 ga. Is that common?
