DW what if we have a nail that goes exactly through a LINE conductor, but does not damage or touch the NEUTRAL/EARTH conductors ................ There is just a good a chance that will become live as your pipe.
To me it is risk assessment, IMO there is more of a danger that you make the installation less safe by bonding metal work that are non extraneous conductive parts, that the scenarios we have mentioned.
I totally agree there is more danger in yours, than mine and a damaged cable under a floor in the bathroom can touch a pipe there and transfer down to a sink with someone touching across it, but there is also the danger of under a fault condition that pipe become live because you bonded it.
For me it is just the blanket if it plastic incoming, metal inside .....bond it .............regardless of what it is. I just think it takes the not thinking for ourselves away from us
