I'm sure there's some non-zero probability of an inspector who's never missed anything (clearly NOT me), but the number is so small as to be not worth calculating. We're all human and there's a lot to look for. In my brief (2-year) inspecting career I've seen, among other things, these items that had passed a previous inspection:
* Illegally-supported bumpers last year that passed at least three inspections
* A robot without a pressure relief valve. It wasn't that the valve was in the wrong place -- it wasn't installed, and the students didn't know what it was for when we found it in their parts box.
* A manual vent plug valve that was accessed by reaching through the kicker (last year).
* A main breaker "installed" by hanging it from its wires from the robot superstructure.

I'd be scared to see the list that Al could come up with. The bottom line is that no inspector can assume that any previous inspectors are perfect.

See you on Curie.
