I hope nobody follows this hacks how to, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things and my X is worth the right way.

Sadly too many diy and professional people do use crimp connectors, twist together and insulating tape, scotch locks (which I detest) and other similarly poor standards. Amazed he even use shrink wrap, though he didn’t seal that correctly. His routing though is a perfectly fine demonstration of where to run the cable. Of all the clips I have found this is the best one for showing that.
As to cutting the loom, well unless you take out the seat and a lot more panels this is the only way to get a quad lock through some of those gaps. The majority of quick fit people will prefer to do this than spend the time making room for it. As a non shielded cable with correct, and I stress correct, connections it will make no difference to the service quality.
As an OCD guy myself I know what you mean and guess you are the same, it’s got to be 100% right. For the rest of the world it still works.
