Fuses fuses fuses

Ok, this is about fuses

1- a standard Bussman fuse is UL approved. Are any "high end" fuses UL approved?

2- do any component manufacturers supply their gear with any of the usual suspects of high end fuses as opposed to a standard Bussman?

3- let's say fuses do make a difference. Given incoming power is AC, why could fuses be directional? 

Not meaning to light any fires here- 

thanks in advance

Teo, why pick me to become unhinged on? I don’t get it. If you want to get into some weird pseudo philosophical argument with me you’re barking up the wrong tree. Fortunately the world is not as complex, unfathomable, opaque, impenetrable, mysterious, theoretical or uncertain as you portray it to be.

I believe because it’s oh so easy to do.
Can you give some other technical forums you visit so we can see what they think of you there also?

Cheers George

All you have to do is mention the word unhinged and George magically shows up. It's uncanny.

There are no facts, only interpretations.,
                     or
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

Fact is an enlightenment "folk concept" that doesn't actually exist.
--Alasdair Macintyre

Lots of philosophers would take issue that they are idiots.
But then, this is supposed to be a discussion of fuses with one side "factually" hearing a difference and the other side denying what they're lying ears are hearing.

What good have facts been in this thread?

All the best,
