Me, I'd use Cadweld - best practice - for buried ground rod connections. The
notion that an individual can second guess years of experience behind the code

Naaahhh..
For real hubris you have to do something spectacular like Odysseus did..
put up a billboard in front of the building department saying something like
I'm Jim Lux, living at .., and I used a non-code way to install my
ground rods, nyah, nyah, nyah..
Then you wind up on a sailing boat hanging out in the Aegean and
