As far as I'm concerned, an inspection is nothing but a billing point. I'm sorry, but I've been through enough inspections to appreciate just how limited they are. In terms of things actually performing, or being safe, inspections are irrellevant.
I disagree with you.
Each inspector is different, just as electricians are. To paint all inspectors with such a broad brush is, IMO unfair. Some are just better and more conscientious than others.
It's the same as stating "all electricians are hacks, they're all a bunch of ripoffs".
