Gerald:
The NEC Committee is responsible for rules that will minimize the risk of electricity as a source of electric shock, and as an ignition source of fires and explosions.
The picture I posted above shows work done by an "unqualified person" and one who was not aware of correct installation procedures for electrical equipment.
If you have a problem with the proposed new definition, I would suggest that you challenge the CMP-1 members at the NFPA Annual meeting in May.
