It's the CAA you need to disagree with, along with several recent news articles relating to people/property injured or damaged whilst purely charging(not in use)
The CAA Document below (page 28) details the requirement, after extensive testing that charging alone is not recommended. Section 4.2.5

As for not following the above CAA recommendations just because it is a 787 rather than another aircraft is ludicrous.
