So we do agree on the principle - that UPS on an ungrounded line is really a bad idea, but that re-wiring the line is a good one, and supporting that with the added protection of UPS (although I actually prefer a power conditioner with voltage regulation and series-mode surge suppression, but then I'm a muso, and those are the types of things we musos use...)

The rest, semantics. I haven't worked in construction since my back went to shit and I had to go under the knife back in 2002, so my faulty memory of electrical theory isn't a huge ish, other than me looking stupid occasionally.
