Do you interpret every amendment as wrong?

What is your criteria for deciding which has been wrong and which hasn't?
I'll assume it's entirely based on whether you agree with it or not.
The regs didn’t get it wrong. They reduced the distance.
I don’t understand your point.
Oh and a Happy New Year.

Distance between water and power points
Regulations in Australia restrict where you're able to position power points in relation to sinks and taps. Find out what the rules say, and how far your power points will need to be from your kitchen sink.

That used to be the distance between a socket and a shower tray in a bedroom, but I don't know if it's current.

You appear to present your opinion of 7671 as fact.
I have said to you before, if you do not like the contents of 7671, then you should contact the relevant people.
Have you done that?
What was their reply?
Maybe he (or someone else) did and they reduced the socket distance to 2.5m.
Is there a reason for this revelatory move?

One *might* guess that they noticed that no-one in the rest of Europe or the USA was dying of things plugged in in the bathroom, so they are 'inching' the distance down until they can remove the UK exception to the standard rule book. If they go slowly enough they can detect the sudden vast increase in bathroom deaths, and stop doing it.
Quite so - "not a given", even in people with perfectly normal/healthy hearts.
Move away from that situation to those with 'heart disease' (very many of who will not be aware of that" and the 'reassurance' provided by 30 mA RCD protection gets progressively less. There are a good few people around in whom a shock of just a milliamp or three could easily prove fatal.
