It comes from the situation where neither you nor PBC seem able to detect any difference between someone simply breaks a law, someone who encourages the breaking of the law, and someone who in a professional capacity decides to make breaking the law an integral part of his business processes. As for it being part of this discussion, please try to remember that I did not introduce it and that we are still waiting for you to put forward a reasoned and intelligent explanation of why what I said 10+ years ago about notification is relevant to what I say now about making reasonable provision in the design and installation of electrical installations in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering the installations from fire or injury.Where on earth did that come from? That 'difference' does not seem to be anything to do with this part of the discussion and, in particular, nothing to do with my words that you have quoted above.
How about this analogy.In any event, I'm not sure why you are suggesting that there is necessarily a difference between "a private individual DIYer" and "someone who advises (or has in the past advised) others to break the law" - in context, you are one of the former and, AIUI, Paul is suggesting that you have also (in the past) been one of the latter. So what would be the 'difference' I was failing to grasp?
The difference between:
- Someone who sometimes breaks the speed limit when driving.
- Someone who advises other drivers to break the speed limit, telling them that it's perfectly OK, and a good idea because they will get there sooner.
- A taxi driver who makes speeding a standard practice so that he can do more journeys in a given time and make more money.
