It seems to me that inspectors have to interpret rules rather than rules being clear enough so they don't need to be interpreted. It puts inspectors and teams in hard position: inspectors to interpret rules and teams to comply with interpretations of the rules rather than comply with clear rules themselves.
If we are going to include "ill-intent" in the considerations, then there are few more ways that things can be reset after passing inspection (i.e. Pressure release valve, or even code itself). What makes pressure switch to be under more scrutiny? After all, for it to work (for pressure above 120 PSI), pressure release valve has to be reset as well.
I suppose asking simple questions on Q&A and getting clear answers would help this situation.
