You're preaching to the choir. We all know that the inpector has the final say. I can tell you that around here, no inspector is going to allow a 15amp receptacle on a 20 amp feeder. I wouldn't either.
Try plugging a 50/100' extension cord into a 15amp receptacle that has a 20amp feeder, and use it to power an RV A/C unit for the weekend. Then tell us what happens. That kind of stuff happens all the time. My family's safety is worth more than that.
