Re: 16 gauge solid core vs 14 gauge solid core (and Wago connectors)

From the screensteplive stuff - "To maximize pullout force and minimize connection resistance wires should not be tinned (and ideally not twisted) before inserting into the Wago connector."

If they are recommending not tinning the wire (which would make it solid) or twisting the wire (so it would not flatten out when the jaws close) one would think solid core is also not recommended. Right?
