Nonsense. There's nothing at all wrong with running conduit all the way
up

the box (with an appropriate fitting to secure the conduit to the box,
of
course).

Why such a dick, Doug? Many electrical inspectors disagree. You can't
arbitrarily combine wiring methods, you need a proper transition. Romex
needs to be secured and it's quite clear that running it through a few
inches of EMT does not secure the cable.

The EMT to NM transition fitting at the point where the NM enters the
EMT takes care of the securing of the NM, and the EMT to enclosure
fitting where the EMT terminates at the load center enclosure takes care
of securing there.

Doug thinks you don't need that, either, if I'm reading correctly.
