Never had to take it to first step. You get tag for anything other than a simple yes you goofed then call the inspector first, give him first chance to back off and depending on tag many will if your sitting ready with code book to fight. Had one back off in less than a minute. No hard feelings he simply did not not flip page to read exceptions and problem solved. Some take more and even going over his head (i use that as last step ). What you get is a few words to inspector that you are not a whimp and will fight. Not suggesting they pass anything cause i don't want that but do wan't them to think before tagging. Had one that dug his own hole by asking me to read the section he said i violated in front of the GC. He signed me off and stoped talking. Wasn't how i wanted to play this out but was how he thought he make me look stupid. You don't fight you don't win but i am known as a scrapper.
