I didn't say that. I said that nothing can ever be done with 100%

This is getting absurd. Do you think the meter is going to get up off the
ground, climb the wall, and reinstall itself into the base?

That is absurd, considering that is one of the LESS likely
possibilities.

OK, how about listing some of the ones you consider more likely?

I already did.

Do you
*really* think that pulling the meter is *not* a secure means of disconnecting
from the utility?

Apparently you didn't read what I wrote. [whole sentence deleted].



I considered doing that (connecting generator that way) once but never
did it because of the small risk of severe consequences.

I guess if you don't trust yourself to throw the main breaker,

I don't consider myself perfect. That's enough.

You don't have to be "perfect" -- you just have to get it right.

And don't leave out the EVERY SINGLE TIME part.

Fer cryin'
out loud, man, how hard *is* it for you to throw the main breaker?

Sheesh.
