Do you ever think, before posting? Someone adds another circuit, and

What is wrong with having two circuits on the one breaker - provided the
breaker is correctly sized for the cable? In practice it's no different
from daisy chaining sockets.


That's your opinion, but the US NEC and insurance companies forbid
it. Two wires under one screw reduce the pressure by half if they are
in parallel. If the cross, they will deform and break.
