Disagree. Not if that wall and cabinet are in a hallway, bathroom, closet, laundry room or any other room they missed and isn't "similar" to the rooms listed in 210.52(A). A master closet could easily have a door and built in cabinets with 2 to 4 feet of wall space (closet rods) between them.

I did not see any of those rooms mentioned in this thread by the OP.

It's obviously related to a room where the spacing rules apply.

So in your situation yes but that does not mean every 2 foot wall section in a house must have an recep, it just means it needs to be part of the wall space that sums to the 6 max allowance.

Yes my take on it as well. I realize that I shortened the original post but since the question was asking about a receptacle on the other side of the cabinet we were not discussing rooms that do not require applying the 6'/12' spacing rule.

If in a room where the 6/12 rule applies - any 2 foot or longer individual wall section must have at least one outlet. One wall section per this rule does include measuring around corners where they are not broken by doors, cabinets, etc.
