I am getting at a missing link in the forum where the explanation falls short. This happens on electric forums too. There is a lot of pissing about code compliance but comes up short as to "why".
There are some highly technical answers most over my head but there is and are a couple fundamental aspects of common circuit design often missed. This is similar to paint booth, there is aleays about the third comment on how he pressurize a paint booth which makes it evident he doesnt have any grip on how it works.
The electric is similar in some respect but the fault with it or some of it really not dangerous. Its not going to hurt anything to use a wire cost 4$ a foot instead of 1.
The error with this is that their life will be vastly improved and they will become more handsome un the near future.
There is an argument for future proof and it does have a place but it usually doesnt pay to park 3$ a foot extra just in case, same for the extra conduit in the ground.
Been there, done it, demand often goes down before up and some becomes obsolete.
I run a lot of 1/2 conduit, never once. Never wished i ran 3/4 to a light fixture or service switch cause i needed to add a welder circuit later..
Lots of stuff that is dedicated run another wire or pipe to anyway, every wire doesnt need to run in one pipe.
