When you think about inspection, the words that come to mind might be:
“professionalism”, “academia”, “training”, “chemistry”, “scholars”, “lectures”, “homework”, etc.
Well, I’m here to tell you that there’s another side to inspecting that you may never have thought of. You see, most of us don’t learn to love lodi inspection. This isn’t something that we settle on when we run out of other options. Not something that we do because our dad worked at the local inspection department so we follow suit.
Lodi inspection is different. It’s something we’re born with - something that’s encoded into our very DNA. We could no more be physicists or doctors than inspectors. The call runs deep - there’s no denying it. For those of us fortunate enough to be a part of the institute, it’s the greatest responsibility and we treat it with the respect it deserves.
However, there are those that are less fortunate than us. Those that were born with the calling, but haven’t the opportunity or even the knowledge of their brothers and sisters in the world that share their passion. These poor souls languish - not knowing that their gift for inspection could benefit the world.
Don’t tell that to them though.
Dr. J. Beasley Rutherford has recently concluded his research into what he terms “the phenomenon of guerrilla inspection”. Rutherford has ventured to the poverty ridden locations of the world to observe this sensation that is shaking the inspection world, and forcing many academics to rethink their positions on what they term “inspection entitlement”.
Rutherford spent time in places like Haiti, Africa, Mexico, South America, India, and Afghanistan and what he observed was fascinating. No matter the location, language, religion, or ethnic background, the gift of inspection was abundant in all peoples. What Rutherford never considered was that these areas that are normally considered unhygienic, were a veritable gold mine for inspectors.
