A difficulty with wiring codes is that we have to switch off large areas 
of our own knowledge and critical thinking, and instead, "just follow 
the book".

That comes hard to some people - it certainly does to me!

The other difficulty for occasional DIYers is that there's still a grey 
area around the way that wiring inspectors will interpret the regs... 
and the book won't help us there.
