A quick question from somebody who farms that part of the job out when it
has to be done...since the end doesn't take any of the tension of the cable,
what would be wrong with torching it and then nicropressing it outside of
the torched area?

The problem is -- you just don't know how much of the cable has been
heat-damaged that way.

At the risk of agreeing with Jim here I'll venture to say "Sure
you do...only the 'ends' are heated and those are inside the
clamped areas at the 'ends' of the cable..."
