My first thought when reading this was it was a valid point, but unless it could be shown that the generator was the cause of the failure, it would not apply here. Otherwise, if the concern is that breakers can go bad, then that invalidates the use of breakers in general. As much of a danger to anyone working inside the panel as it would be to a lineman upstream. And that would also preclude the NEC approved use of the sliding lockout switches.
But that also raises another question I don't know the answer to but I'm sure someone on here does.........in the event of a power failure, the digital meter should go dark. If you are somehow backfeeding when the generator is running will the meter light up and start running backwards? If so, would that not be a good test to double check your transfer switch / lockout system?
