Years back a friend bought a house and we were in the process of removing a lot of unnecessary wiring in the basement. I pull the plug out of a porcelain light fixture and the light goes out. Upon further examination I see that there is no wiring going to the box to which the fixture is mounted... Ends up male plug was 'hot' and used to back feed the fixture. I guess as long as it "works" some people think they've done a good job.
