Yes.

You said:
Think about knocking out a brick under a window and putting hemostats
on the wire, BEFORE it reaches the contact and you'll see why EOLR's
are useful.

I said:
Yes, but only if each window is zoned separately.

If 5 windows are on a zone, each window home-run to the panel, and the eol
is at window 5, you could short any other contact using your example, and
disable that window. The eol supervision, for the purposes of detecting a
short as in your example, only holds for window 5. Hence, my assertion that
eol supervision is only in effect if all windows are separately zoned, given
the scope of your example.
