Mr. Electrician
It looks like it may have been a while since your inspector read 8-304 and 30-712(3).
Yes 12 outlets is the general rule but if the load is known then more outlets can be installed.
In combination lighting and outlet circuits where the pot light trim can allow a bigger bulb than another trim I think most inspectors would apply the greatest load.
1 amp per outlet is for general use outlets.
