The man speaks the truth.  If you look at really expensive, critical
equipment you usually see fuses as a last stage of protection.  Power
systems often have multiple fuses carefully chosen not just for their
current ratings, but for how fast they blow -- fuse "sequencing" is a
vital consideration in these applications.
