Kevin,
Using hot glue is not dumb at all. In fact it sounds like a good idea to stabilize the leads where they exit the power pole connector shells and keeps the pair of connectors from sliding apart.

This may be a dumb thing to do, but after crimping (using the more
expensive ratchet type crimpier) and inserting the connectors into their
housing, I run some hot melt glue around the conductors where they enter
the housing. This IMHO provides support to the conductors where flexing
may tend to cause failure after a time.
I would be pleased of anyone could provide reasons why this is a stupid
idea to put their argument on the reflector. We learn by mistakes and
by discussion!
