Len, yes, you assumed correctly, the switches are fed with a 14/3 coming in, and a 14/2 up to the lights.
Paul, that is the exact code section I used to back up my argument.
Like I said, there is nothing more I can do to change their minds. I had to restrain myself after I saw the apprentice doing the same thing after I just explained to him that it was wrong. Sometimes, you just have to give up. If people want be ignorant and ignore the code, so be it.
Sorry for the rant, just blowing off some steam.
Peter
