404.2 Switch Connections grounded conductor question

[Strathead]

404.2 (C)(5) I don't have the ability to cut and paste so I bet someone else will do that for me. My question is, does this section mean that 3 way and 4 way switching doesn't require the neutral conductor in ANY of the switch boxes if all lights can be seen from each switch location? Or would that be ALL switch locations? If you can't see from one location does that then mean that the other locations where you can see all lights have to have neutrals?

5) Where multiple switch locations control the same light-
ing load such that the entire floor area of the room or
space is visible from the single or combined switch locations.
