Not at all - but my point was that you said the armour protects the cable - but if the outer sheath gets damaged before reaching the armour, the cable is still bollloxed.
I'm not saying the cable needs to protected.

What is "earth bonding"?
Just in case you don't understand my comment - Main equipotential bonding is what it was called the last time I went to school.
I know what main equipotential bonding is - it is what is now known as main protective bonding. Earth bonding I don't understand, however, as Earthing and bonding are completely different things.

Well I'm not going to bond the phase to the water pipes am I?
The intent/purpose is certainly different, and the conductor sizes will generally be different but, beyond that, the difference is almost semantic - since you can't 'bond something' without connecting it electrically to the installation's earth, and nor can you 'earth' something (to the installation's earth) without effectively 'bonding' it electrically to any extraneous-c-ps which are themselves 'bonded'.
