I came upon a diary this saturday all about the evils of ANSI (the American National Standards Institute) and how the standards it sets led directly to the purchase of a crappy water heater. I could not fit in all I would like to say about the inaccuracies portrayed in the diary in a single comment. So if you're interested follow me below.
