whew!..... good one Scott.
The thing about the NEC is that, you may, after bouncing from article to article, do a good job of any given installation, and never really get the point as it pertains to the manipulation of electricity itself.

It should'nt be hard to find a code/theory type of scenario, as you did here with grounding, a lot of threads go that route ...

Or would a few calculations shake it up???
