You'll notice that I was corrected and properly so, for situations involving large diameter pipes where both sides of the weld joint are accessible for welding and inspection. In that situation NDT and all-around visual inspection is practicable and high quality welds can be made and verified. Fit-up is still a pain in the ass, though.
