Among the things that bothered me in the article .... remember it comes direct from one of the manufacturers .... was the very strong push for more AFCI's, on every household circuit.

The author plainly stated that he wants EVERY circuit in his home so proetcted. Later statements imply unkind things about those who don't share this opinion- and worse things about those who question or oppose this technology.

Which is an interesting detail: I can't speak for others, but I have nothing against this technology per se; I do have some issues with the idea of having every circuit in the home being REQUIRED to have this protection.

The ever-shifting basis used to argue in favor of this product has me sceptical - and questioning my morals and intelligence (as the author does) isn't going to ease my concerns. Quite the opposite, in fact.
