You are correct Bob. That is a good example. When I made that post I somehow knew you'd bring that up. I still say it's a poor design and an installer who installs this way is just asking for trouble. I can't give him a violation but I can first of all try and talk him out of it due to the potential for confusinon down the road and if that don't work you can bet your beppi he will be submitting an asbuilt showing all the intimate details of the cicuiting, wire numbering, loading and not just a skimpy sketch on piece of scratch paper either.
I have never seen anyone install anything even remotely close to that in real life. I've been in the trad for 40 years and an inspector for over 20.
I take that back- I did have a guy one time install some festoon lighting where he had a common neutral.
