With that arrangement couldn't you still plug the power cable in offset to
the left so the positive goes to the left-hand black terminal and the
negative is not connected. Easily done if you can't see what you are doing
and are trying to plug in the cable blind. If there is a connection back to
the power supply negative through ground connections you still have a short
circuit. OK, hopefully it will only blow a fuse not the radio, but with
other connector types that would not be possible.
