you can put 15amp outlets on a 20amp circuit, just not the other way around.
i prefer the overprotection,. not an electrician either.
just because you have 15amp outlets on a 20amp service does not mean you still cant trip a 20amp brkr.
as jim said the breaker protects the WIRES.
as gogar said, you protect the smallest ga wire.
i ran a dedicated service to my music room for the band. i ran 10g to the first box, then 12g to all outlets and put in a 20a brkr and 20amp outlets. the service split down 2 walls where the 10g tied in.
