Maybe that's good enough, and as I think about it, maybe I'm colored by the fact that my car has its battery in the back. I was trying to avoid having any electricity in the engine compartment. But I suppose if the battery is in the engine compartment, that's not a realistic goal.
But it says "all circuits" and as long as there's a circuit from the battery to the alternator, to the engine ground, back to the battery, it's hard to argue that it meets the letter of the rule.

My battery is in the trunk as well. the only wire that's hot going into the engine compartment is the short wire going to the alternator. If you're in a wreck big enough to rip the alternator off its mount or break the engine loose, then a little #8 cable is the least of your worries.
As for cutting all circuits, I would implore you to argue that one to tech. this method cuts anything and everything that uses power or could keep the engine running. there is ONE wire going into the engine bay that's still got juice on it, and it's not going anywhere that's going to keep the car running. That's the intent of the rule, is it not?
