> The fact that your knee jerk response is to frame professionals using judgement their jobs as "letting you state by" is just crazy. The UK system (builders choose their own building control inspector in the free market, building owners choose their own fire risk assessor in the free market, makers of building materials choose their own flammability testing house in the free market) produced hundreds of tower blocks clad in flammable cladding and insulation, and a fire in which 72 people died. After all, why choose the guy who's going to give you a hard time, when you could choose someone friendly, helpful and trusting? And inspectors and testers know that. And those that are still in business are so very friendly, helpful and trusting, in fact, that the person certifying whether your insulation is flammable will let you set up the test rig yourself, and they "won't notice" you've put magnesium oxide fireproof boards over the flame sensors.
