I don't come here to necessary try to change the code. I usually come here to try to get my line of thinking on tract with input from like-minded individuals. There are cases like this coupling issue where some people like to create a problem where there isn't one just because they can. I was hoping somebody would comment on the situations/examples I mentioned so that I could possibly wrap my head around the ambiguity. The electrical industry has plenty of large, important, grey area issues that DO need to be ruled on by the AHU. Feeling the need to find tiny holes in the code to leap at like found treasure seems ridiculous. Thanks for all the replies. I didn't expect to get a pleasing answer but more so wanted to vent.
