I don't think a marshal should inspect epees unless they've actually
seen one that should be rejected. I don't have an example bad epee to
show new marshals. As for foils, I've never encountered one in the
SCA, good or otherwise.

It's a bit unfair to bandy about words like incompetent when no
reasonable means of establishing competency has been offered new
marshals, especially when the point of knowledge is increasingly an
edge case. One would not call a pilot who does not know how to fly a
helicopter incompetent, even though helicopters are totally legal.
