Well., the THHN conductors must be in conduit no question asked.

Home inspector says it is okay since the wires are more than 6 feet from attic access and something about protected from damage since they are not laying on the truss.

If NM it is not a issue but any cable less than 2 meters( 6 Feet ) from scuttle hole it have to be properly secured. The conduit is not a issue as long it properly routed and secured.

My handyman says that all wire has to be in conduit unless it is NM while another contractor says that its okay w/ GFCI protected, its safe.

I am suprised that your handyman nail this one and how the world did that contractor say it is ok with RCD { GFCI } protection espcally with exposed THHN/ THWN conductors I don't buy that story someone is not really understand the code very clear on this matter.

I am convinced that the NEC says it needs to be in conduit. How did other people cite specific examples of when it does not need to be? Does the NEC say different things?

Any THHN / TWHN or other type of conductors { cable have limited coverage on this part } It must be in conduit no question asked it is allready written in the NEC code no if or but or Conneries .,,
The only time it don't need the conduit if part of equiment.
Merci.
