"No professional should ever fail an inspection."
I've been a contractor for 14 years doing work in Res., Comm., and Ind. and I have yet to see an electrician who is right all the time about everything on the job.
The fact is that the code book is big and covers many apsects of the trade but, can't cover every situation. This is where the local AHJ comes in.
It's his job to make sure the installation is sound and safe and meets code everywhere that's applicable.
This trade covers a huge amount of material and anyone who claims that they have never failed an inspection, only specializes in a very small portion of it, has only been in business a very short while, or never pulls permits.
Professionalism dictates how you correct the mistakes you make, not that you won't make them.
Just my two cents worth.

That's about it.

Since this is on & off track...
Had an inspection, EC was on site. His first words were " I've never failed an inspection!!". I glanced down at the tech card to see his #; hmm...15xxx!. Started at the garage...he had firewall violations (3); continued into the kitch/DR....#14...wrote a red sticker..... end of story.
New boy on the block??

I promise to stop with this one but it comes from my heart.
Tasks they ask of you
Could cause harm to someone else
Too high a price paid!
Your GC was obviouly not as well VERSED in Electrical Safety as the PROSE in this forum.
You did the right thing making sure improper fixtures didn't remain in place! It would've been nicer though, if it had been done in a better way to educate others as to acceptable choices for the given location.
