Hot Line, you are correct...as is Electure... when you say that cords are not to be a substitute for proper methods.
Yet, cord does have a place in permanent wiring. Sometimes the reasons may not be immediately obvious though, so I would not want to be hasty in saying something was "wrong".
I suppose ther are two points to consider:
First, we are hired for our judgement, as much as anything else. Then, in order for our judgement to be any good, we need to know the nature of the place, as well as the "nameplate" information.
