RE: 20 amp Duplex on 15 amp circuits? yes? no? don't care?

This only becomes an issue when there is a 'failure' and, as a direct result of the failure an investigation or law suit-

On the face of it - yes - you are not putting the outlet at risk - so long as the breaker / fuse has not changed from the original install.
If some one does insert a 20 Plug and tries to pull a load for a 20 A circuit - it will trip the 15A breaker - so it should not cause harm, but....
Happy Listening
