There are leaders and there are followers. While I would not say I am a "Leader" I am absolutely not a follower. Where I work the rules are the rules. The inspectors are bound to follow them as written. Some rules are ambiguous and can be interpreted in different ways, others are black and white. Either way there are no rules that contain the words "Because I said so". So if an inspector makes that claim he can look over his shoulder and he will see I am not following.
