I think some of this was intended as humor but did not work out as funny.

From a good practice point of view the trench should have been blinded with a concrete layer or clayboard to lay the reinforcement/ducts on, this would prevent the concrete from being contaminated by stones and earth kicked up when the concrete is poured into the formwork, the stones and earth can facilitate a path for moisture and rusts the reinforcement this in turn expands and breaks open the concrete (concrete cancer) at best or the ducts at worst.
You have not understood my post, try reading it again.
Well you can go against the perceived wisdom of every Structural Engineer and carry on thinking that way, it's up to you, but don't try and get a job as a Ground Works Engineer.
Big difference between a "Site Engineer" and a "Structural Engineer" in my working life I sat on the main board of the Institute of Structural Engineers and a few other construction related Institute's and Association's, so know a little about the process.
You can prevaricate as long as you like, but that trench should have been blinded and not as shown as bare earth which would contaminate the concrete.
