   Bad no, but it sure pisses off the next electrician that has to access the   
   spice. There's nothing worse than getting that sticky gummy tape adhesive   
   all over your fingers, then your tools, then the switch, then the wall, etc.   
   If a splice is made proper to begin with, the wirenut should do the job of   
   holding the splice together and keeping it insulated.
