could you please cite the 24 inch rule... I need to show it to somebody...

I need to find where it is written down.

You are not going to find it. The 24" rule applies to the distance
between receptacles serving a kitchen counter, You can have one on the
wall directly behind the sink if you want although it is a horrible

The rule about sinks is any receptacle within 6' of a sink must be
GFCI and all counter top receptacles in a kitchen have to be GFCI
