I can understand that. And in an installer situation, working on multiple brands/models of cars without schematics, your point is quite valid. But checking specific wires in the audio amplifier plug will neither damage the unit nor blow the airbags. I never use a test light on a vehicle with which I am unfamilar but I use one all the time on my car and bike (I have all the schematics for both). I don't use a 1/2" wrench in place of a 12mm either - always the right tool for the job. My objection is to anyone who screams that test lights are evil - if they were, nobody would buy them or make them.
