I would tend to agree with that statement 100%.
-If I were your inspector, I would want to see a sample run of the item before I passed it.
-If I were the team who heard that response from an inspector, I would just ditch it to save myself some nightmares.

Your call though.
I would redesign it using something else, but bring it along and show the LEAD inspector. It may be something to consider, or at least bring to FIRST's attention for future usage rulings.
