The other reason often cited for this rule (with fairly good reason) is that intermediate connections make it harder for field personnel to diagnose any DS<>Robot link issues.
However, if an exception were allowed for passive devices/pigtails and those devices/pigtails were
visible and easily removed, I don't think there would be a huge issue with this either.
