Jim Mazerat, my friend,
Unless there is some new argument from some new voice, I really think its time to put the repetitive arguments to rest.
Individual opinions on this subject are laudable (if presented cogently and without rancor), but ultimately individual opinions are just that. It is the courts and the profession as a hole which will make, and have probably already made, the ultimate decision.
All of your protestations on this forum and directly an officially to the NFPA apparently have been non-persuasive.
Circulative and repetitive arguments provide no new information, and you have already convinced those whom you can, and failed to convince those you cannot. Let's put it to rest.
Kindest personal regards,
Pat
