From both a CSA and a head electrical's perspective these seem like two conflicting points. I've seen a great deal of wire cut because of things like drilling, nuts/bolts, zip ties, or just normal wear and tear (robot on robot action). Resilience does not favor one or the other in an "all encompassing" scenario.
