Keep your retard imagination to yourself, dumbass. Others will not enjoy damaged and cut off wirestrands as much as you.

The real reason is that tin responds to mechnical load differently than other metals. Tin creeps under load, it slowly deforms, until there is no force left. So even if you tighten the screws of the luster terminal, the tinned wire inside will creep and the connection will become loose after a while. This means higher resistance, unreliability, and dangerous heat. I experienced this myself long before learning about the metallurgical background.
Long story short, use crimped wire-end sleeves or the bare wire, everything is better than tinned wire ends.
