I say again, louder...

If it is not shut, it is open.

(This is a good argument, don't you think?)

If it's not open it's closed.

  I suspect this is more a matter of the individual instructor than what's
  actually in the standards.  I've read both of these agency's standards at
  one
  time or another and do not recall a single line about requiring paritially
  open ISOs.

  Common sense dictates that all valves need to be either all the way on or
  all
  the way off.  In a stressful situation requiring a valve shut-down it
would
  be way too easy to turn the valve the wrong way if it's only partly open.
  With a strict on/off approach, the valve is only going to turn one
way......
  THE RIGHT ONE!  Bare handed, gloves or mitts, shutting down a valve is not
a
  difficult matter with a little practice.
