  Again, TVs running at tens of thousands of volts and that sometimes
arced were chock full of dust AND routinely housed in wooden
cabinets.  Did you see dust start the fire OR see something else start
a fire that also burned dust?

  That's tens of thousands of volts that arced in much heavier dust
concentrations.  The smoke detector had far less dust and only 120
volts maximum.  Dust did not start that fire.
