RE: UPPER ROOFING SHEARWALL
So I first would lead him to this view, and then prove by the if standing, standing calculations, he is wrong. If you do not have such calculations at hand some will need to be made, with proper checks on connections. And might be, depending upon your structure and framing, inspector is right and you may need some change for proper proof of compliance with the code.
Best wishees.
