sad for you people repeatedly accusiung others of being retarded often

You regularly demonstrate your retardation.

Such as by your inability admit you are wrong.
Your opinions have been demolished by your own source from your own state..
So you turn into a troll. And try to change the subject.

Still unable to answer even answer one question?

Why does _your own source_ not bring the whole house up to the current
code like you say is required? Your source does only the electrical work
it wants to - often very little. Is your source wrong or are you wrong?

_Your own source_ doesn't even remove all the K&T wiring. Isn't your
source as smart as you are? How can they do that in your home state?

Does the NEC still allow K&T to be refed, just like it was in my
mother's old house over 50 years ago? Like your own source does?

Why does _your own source_ say "properly installed and unaltered K&T
wiring is not an inherent fire hazard"? Is your source wrong or are you
wrong?
You pointed at the "photos of hacked K&T wiring" in your source. Why
weren't most of the photos identified as involving K&T wiring? Couldn't
your source, which was about K&T wiring, find hacked K&T wiring?

Mike Holt is well known in electrical circles. In his discussion forums
why don't electricians share your paranoia about K&T? Are they stupid?
Why do they just think K&T is a wiring method that just has to follow
NEC rules?

Why was the NEC change not based on data indicating a problem?
Why do many jurisdictions, including at least 5 whole states, allow
insulating K&T wiring?
Why does _your own source_ insulate over K&T? Aren't they as smart as
you are?
Why does your own state, PA, also allow insulating over K&T (as is done
by your source)?
Why did the "Illinois report", to a state agency, not find significant
numbers of house with K&T wiring and insulation where the insulation
caused a fire? They looked for a problem and couldn't find it. Weren't
the authors as smart as you are? Where is the data about fires in the
huge number of K&T houses that have been insulated? So many houses and
no problem?

No doubt the NEC rules were based on the following.

theres probably no unaltered K&T wiring remaining........

in a 100 years people make changes............. most changes cant be
inspected properly


besides whats it worth to avoid a home fire? people can and do
die...........

besides possible loss of life the inconvenience is unreal.

with the extreme high costs of home fires .........

incidently a friend stopped by tonight he was a fire investigator, had
lots of training and said K&T is bad news / obsolete.

he has worked as a local code inspector and says the NEC is the gold
standard for regulations around here,.
