By the way, I saw the electronic inspection system and thought it was really great -- especially handy for the elims reinspection to record weight deltas and associated notes.

So sorry you wrestled with a 400 KOhm "short" for chassis isolation.
Chassis isolation criteria per R27 in 2015 is 10 kOhm. In previous years, the bar for chassis isolation was higher, so your inspector may not have been aware of the current spec.
Challenging the robot inspector's call was well within your rights and the Lead Robot Inspector should definitely have been consulted. The FRC inspection process is motivated by safety and fair play consideration. The intent is not to hinder teams from competing in top form.
