Actually the pin in a N Male connector is larger, wider, than the female
BNC. Using a N male on a BNC female will spread the BNC female center to
the point it can become intermittent for a BNC male.

just don't push them in too far or you'll damage the centre pin on the
BNC/TNC.

Not true. BNC connectors are rated up to 4 GHz, although most
professional test equipment in my company's laboratory only use it to
about 1.5 GHz. Agilent, Rhode-Schwartz, Fluke etc. all commonly use BNC
connectors on their test instruments.
Quality measurement equipment use BNC connectors manufactured by companies
such as Amphenol, Pasternak, etc. If you are talking about a bad
experience with cheap Asian imports then you should say that and not
disparage all BNC connectors.
