Man...what's your deal?
No sh!t sherlock!! You keep pointing out the obvious here. I could get into the serious talk on here if you want, but that's not the point.
A good connector/clip on the end can usually decrease this problem a lot...not eliminate though.
As for the insulation, the degree varies from wire to wire.
I don't think we need to run this into the ground.
