I couldn't have said it better (ok I'll accept As Well).  

The same goes for spotting installation/design issues.  We encourage to do so 
on a separate form from your 25 inspection form with the CYA caveat that it was 
not a complete review of the entire facility and covers just the location 
identified.  Unbelievably, there was a lawsuit where the inspector was sued AND 
LOST when they identified such a deficiency and a fire occurred at a different 
location with the same deficiency.  You'd think being told of one problem that 
common sense would say it is possible to be present elsewhere so the OWNER 
would look into it.  ughhhhh
