Several years ago during a fly-in I had an encounter with a  

'friendly' who insisted that I put a nut on a welded bolt at upper  

aileron/flaperon hinge/pushrod on my FireFly. Bolt can't move, turn,  

or come out..and hinged part can't leave! Ran a ESN on and he smiled.

I had a local "designated inspector", or whatever they're called, take the same issue with that "bolt" on my Firestar  -- which is actually a welded-up part of the airframe, not functionally a bolt at all, but he was reluctant to acknowledge that obvious fact.  Apparently since it began life as a bolt, it can never be anything else, and therefore requires a nut.  I saw it as a rather humorous illustration of the bureaucratic mind-set.
