"What it does is electrically tie together all accessible conductive
parts (pipes, taps, electrical appliances etc) that could under fault
conditions introduce a dangerous potential into the room. "


A rank amateur would look at that and not know what potential is.
"Potential" needs a explanation at this point.


A 'rank amateur' should then just follow the guidance and not question his
betters - that's what these FAQs are for. And if wants to understand the
whys and wherefores can do some simple research.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing - and aptly shown by those who
query the need for equipotential bonding.
