The heck with banishing to the Aegean or Adriatic-real banishment should be the
oceans around the southern oceans where landfall can be only made at places
such as South Sandwich, South Georgia, Heard and Bouvet where commiseration can
be given as "599 or 59 thanks for the new one" If that is to extreme, then some
time spent at BV9 or BS7 may be substituted as punishment. Restocking of
provisions can only be made at P5.

The point was that burying brazed joints is common accepted good

Me, I'd use Cadweld - best practice - for buried ground rod
connections. The notion that an individual can second guess years of
experience behind the code and do it better is hubris.

Naaahhh..
For real hubris you have to do something spectacular like Odysseus did..
put up a billboard in front of the building department saying something like
I'm Jim Lux, living at .., and I used a non-code way to install my
ground rods, nyah, nyah, nyah..
Then you wind up on a sailing boat hanging out in the Aegean and
Adriatic for a bunch of years.
