While the second passes are more intense and absolutely necessary, it is a rare circumstance when major problems are detected that were not identified during the initial pass. The bulk of discoveries from the second pass tend to concern the more minor problems.

The above statement is pure BS, the attic, electrical and crawlspace are done during the second pass!
I would not call it BS, it is just different than the way you might inspect a home. We all inspect homes differently. The crawlspace is usually the last thing I inspect. The attic is one of the first things I inspect.
