Why do Electricians always insist on working on live circuits when rewiring something instead of turning off the power first?

1. They don't "always" insist on working on live circuits. Sometimes they feel confident enough that they don't want to take the trouble; but it's never a good idea. Just as any trade dealing with hazardous conditions, people often become complacent, and push the rules of safety. 2. Not all electricians work on live circuits unnecessarily.
