Assume for discussion sake that you are 100% correct; i.e., that a fuse provides a "superior" level of overcurrent protection.
Which is more likely to present a safety hazard?
- a circuit breaker that fails to trip, vs.
- an uninformed homeowner who replaces a blown 15 amp fuse with a 20 or 30 amp fuse "because it was all I had and it got the lights back on"?
