I've seen the sparks that can fly when there's marginal contact on a battery to some other connection (charger, bolt, other battery). They may look pretty, but you don't want to see them because they mean something's wrong.

And you don't think there's a greater chance that poking a fuse with a stick will unintentionally cause a short than unplugging an Anderson connector?
