There's an article in today's paper as per the title. For the car with the dead battery it says "not to clamp the jumper lead to the negative terminal of the dead battery, but to clamp to an unpainted metal surface of the dead car." I re-read it again thinking that and why and read on thinking it probably clarifies why not to connect to the battery's negative terminal but it doesn't. With the article not clarifying why I thought it was very poorly written.

I've never ever hear of this before and have always connected to the battery terminals. Have I been doing it wrong all these years? Thanks
