I would like to lay a thought on the table, and here it is....
The codes are written for the uniform safety of the general public. It is within the protocol, of those who write, enforce and henceforth communicate the codes to make known the reasons these codes are in place.
By your failure to convey these reasons, certain entities, be it general public, journeymen, or master electricians, may not think they should follow the guidelines set forth by the NEC, "just cause some crusty old farts said so that write the NEC".
I'm sorry, but i'm rather rattled by this. you arent the first person to assume this is a legal dispute and "clam up".
I feel none of us in this conversation are stupid, i think we all know that the guidelines are there for a reason, public safety, what i cant figure out is why nobody wants to admit that when the guidelines are not followed, safety goes out the window.
I only speak for myself when I say this part of your post ,..tweeked me .
Fill it in ,.. file a complaint ...
