Yeah, you're right, and I do plan to call them out. I guess I should've
asked this question differently: what I'm really wondering is if I can
still
throw a 4" slab on top of buried cables at all. I mean, if I don't have to
dig down deep enough to disturb the cables, can I still pour concrete on
top? The cables would be undisturbed.

But of course they'd now be buried under a 4" concrete slab...

Sure. but there is probably nothing under there anyway. If you don't see
anything coming into the house in that area you are probably safe. Right at
the door is a dumb place for anything to be routed, but you never know. In
most areas, 12" is the minimum to trench and you are only going 4".
