But that's a false argument, Bill, because, as you noted, it is illegal
to use the green wire to carry load current, and it's illegal to connect
neutral to ground at any point but the service entrance. And also
because all wiring within my buildings, and in the similar system I
described to Shawn, DOES include both neutral and ground conductors.
I've been through that in both of my buildings, making sure that there
are no such improperly connected loads.
