Cite that violation?

The only place they talk about cables in conduit has to do with
conduit fill.

After doing a little research:

If you bond both ends of the conduit to the GEC then you are OK. (See
250.64(E))

It would be better to use a non-ferrous conduit, but Metallic conduit,
if used, must have the appropriate BONDING devices at both ends to
prevent the possibility of an INDUCTIVE CHOKE being set up, which, as
I understand, could, possibly IMPEDE the flow of FAULT current...the
overload device would take longer to trip. No problem in plastic.

I guess the "belt and suspenders" solution would be insulated GEC in
plastic conduit - - - - --
