Answer:
Hey Ivey thanks for your question. The NEC does not have a "best if used by" rule. You mentioned there was damage on the wall below the PVC Schedule 40 conduit, possibly the inspector was asking that a wiring method that is suitable for a location that is subject to physical damage be used. PVC schedule 40 conduit is not allowed where subject to physical damage as stated in 352.12(C).
