Guys and gals some of what we post confuses you, as it should. Why we do this is to show you that the tradespeople do not always agree.
For me I do it because the others that post make me think. And, I do what to help to give you good information.

Does it really matter that there are 6 switches instead of 7 or 8 or 9. BTW I do report the 6 switch shutoff to clients because that’s the way I was taught, but sometimes I wonder what the issue is with it.

Theoretically, the NEC (and other authorities) implement codes for reasons of safety. Our job is to report on (among other things) safety concerns. If the NEC feels that 7 breakers is too many and therefore unsafe, we, as “generalists,” cannot argue this matter.

It is to show them that when they make 'code' statements, they are doing something for which they are not 'qualified' to do so.
Let me ask you this.
As a certified inspector do you feel that non-certified persons should be commenting on things that are out of their field of expertise?
I am trying to keep them from saying things that they can not back-up in court.

Saying that you do not like my statements says nothing.
I do not mind to be proven wrong.
NOW show me where I have done anything NOT to help or INFORM.
I have never said that HI's should not look at electrical. I just do not want them to cross the line.
Joe and Jerry
You are both certified. Please show me the line. IE where does a HI cross the line.
