mikesh: 26-258(3) says that if 125% does not correspond to the standard rating of the overcurrent device, the next higher standard rating shall be permitted.

"Shall be permitted" means that the inspector shall permit the use of the next higher standard size. It does not mean that the inspector can add extra requirements before it is permitted.

Show me where it says that I must prove anything beyond that 90.1 is greater than 90. I insist that if the rules apply to electricians, they apply to inspectors, too.
