There's a discussion going on here about not giving information to those we deem incapable of properly/safely using said information.

I deem you.

I agree. Most codes tell you what you have to do, not what you don't have to do.

there is a standard which is not exist for deeming the requirements not needing for remove and replace of structural steel connectings for grounds and not grounds.

Wikipedia is not source of known anti-groundings thoughts.
