Exactly.
I must confess that I don't think the profession of electrician covers itself in glory a lot of the time. There seems to be a level of fear mongering around the subject that you don't get with the other trades to nearly the same extent. And yes, I know that the potential dangers of electricity are manifest and can be serious, but that doesn't excuse this kind of bullshit.
And I've seen too many supposedly-professional electrical installations where silly corners have been cut, or (conversely) expensive solutions installed to have a great deal of faith in the profession's integrity overall. I know there are good electricians, and I've even worked with a few, but it seems to be rather more generously provisioned with cowboys than is ideal...
