Debate: are you team "pull the pin" or "cut the wire" on old cannon plugs?

I spent 6 years wrestling with a broken pin removal tool before a senior tech showed me he just snips the wire and pushes the pin out from the back, and now I'm wondering who else got taught wrong from the start.

Sam530 said flathead trick changed his whole world and yeah that is the exact moment you realize you've been wasting time for years. I was the idiot trying to wiggle pins out with bent paperclips before someone showed me the backshell pop. Now I just carry a tiny flathead in my pocket and feel like I'm cheating every time. Why do schools always teach the hardest way first instead of the way that actually works?

First guy showed me how to pop the backshell with a flathead. Game changer.
