But the blue stuff is probably much more readily available, and probably cheaper in DIY quantities,
therefore it would be entirely reasonable and appropriate to use it in this circumstance.

Neither of those reasons is an appropriate one for using something
inappropriate for the job - it doesn't matter how cheap it is.

Nonsense. It's not a safety issue, in this example. If you want to waste money/time/effort doing
everything to comply with every concievable standard, that's up to you, the rest of us just get on
with it.



It isn't a case of wasting money, time and effort. There is no
difference in time and effort and very little in the materials It's
a case of doing the job properly or bodging it.

Therefore it is not reasonable to say that "the rest of us just get on
with it", because doing so is to suggest that everybody is bodging
jobs, which clearly is not the case.
