OK, but no one is talking about working on the inside of panels.

It's been clear throughout the thread, but yes -- don't open breaker panels and work on them casually.

Flipping a breaker in a closed, code-compliant panel is exactly as safe as flipping a lightswitch in a closed, code-compliant wall box.

I must have misunderstood, then -- you said light switch wiring is as dangerous as breakers, and breaker wiring can only be found inside the panel.

It won't be particularly rewarding, but if you go back through the history you will see the full context.

It involves the safety of requesting an inexperienced person to flip breakers.

Sure, I get that. But the wiring in a panel is just as hidden as the wiring of a light switch.

This was exactly my point. :)
