In specific rather than rhetorical form, my question is this: Is there an 
engineering basis for the fact that the headlights on a Morgan, which are 
high amperage and heavily used, have no fuse, which means that any 
inadvertant grounding of a wire will inevitably cause a fire?  This is even 
more of a mystery because the horn, which is only intermittently used and 
would probably not start a fire, has a fuse all to itself.
