You didn't actually read what I wrote, did you?  I specifically agreed
that it's not about trying to impress the inspector... it's about
covering your ass with the customer when he insists on using the cheaper
wire, the inspector fails it, and then you have to redo it, and charge
the idiot customer for it.

Want me to write that again, in case you missed it THIS time as well?

It also gives you a little protection from the CUSTOMER, when the
inspector comes back and says, "Nope, this wiring won't pass, it's not
plenum-rated" and the customer either hits you with "Why didn't you tell
me?" and/or wants to be difficult when you charge him the materials and
labour to completely remove and redo all the wiring you've done already,
ON TOP OF the original install.
