Yes.  Standards are largely a scam to make money for those
that wrote them.  They make sense to a degree, but the cost
can be so exorbitant to an individual you could not afford
them.  UL is great for this.   They make you comply to a standard
like 913, then obsolete it so you must buy, and recertify to
a new edition.  This orneriness regulatory burden kills, or prevents,
the small business.

Welcome to standards.  The first thing you have to realize when
working with standards, in particular government standards,
is that logic does not apply.

The Gimpel Lint error message is a free download, and quite educational to read.
