I re-read it and you're not wrong it comes across that way. But there's nothing that can't be certified about a soldered or crimped connection behind plasterboard in that situation is there? Would certification require complete removal of the wiring and the consequent rewiring of the ring?
Perhaps "better practice" would have been a more fitting expression. I do respect the regulations exist to make the world safer but if people are going to attempt these jobs themselves it's best to share information about the risks rather than quote BS numbers no?

I take issue with that. Best practice is to use an electrically competent person to modify the fixed wiring installation and re-certify to BS7671.
Most of what you're suggesting belongs with a pair of spurs... yeehah!
