+
+Just now Jorge admonished another peer
+for using insulated wire for pool bonding,
+his rational was flawed beyond saving
+(something about the difference between bonding and grounding),
+but stemmed from a frustratingly common misunderstanding
+that our Accubid assemblies are intended to be an accurate list
+of the material to be installed.
+
+They are not.
+If they were intended to be accurate,
+there would need to be several times as many.
+They are a compromise between accuracy and estimator effort.
+It should be assumed that for common scope,
+at least one assembly should be acceptable as-is.
+
+Pool bonding is required for at least a quarter of our jobs.
+We have no bonding assemblies with bare wire.
+Therefore it must be assumed that it was determined
+that it would be acceptable to represent bare wire bonding with insulated wire items,
+because otherwise it would be necessary to have double the assemblies,
+or to expect estimators to substitute each size of wire
+everywhere bare was necessary.
