Re: CQD answer published Thursday, October 17, 2019 -Intentional NEC Violation
When confronted with a situation such as described in this question in which someone insists that something be done that violates a code or safety consideration, I find it useful to imagine myself in the witness box of a courtroom being confronted by the plaintiff's attorney asking the question "Isn't it correct to say that as a professional electrician, you knew that what you did was a violation of the National Electric Code, yet you did it anyway?" This mental image has given me the fortitude to just say no on more than one occasion.

Hey John thanks for sharing your thoughts. That is a great perspective to consider when doing anything. It also caused me think of how one would feel if someone else was injured or killed because we chose not to follow the rules. That might be more difficult to deal with than losing a court case.
