"The problem is separating the cause of a fire with the classification.
They are not one in the same. You are dealing with a person’s intentions".

I've always considered this Classification a paper exercise primarily for public FI's
whom have to tick a box from somebody's Stat-/Federal stats.

But there is a deeper issue at stake here; bifurcation in FI.
I'm busy with a court matter where the (other side's) FI has largely based his opinion
as to the accused's motives etc. based on a history of domestic violence etc.;
saw the same thing in the Claude Garrett-case, the AFT-FI had his own pet theory.

This is not the FI's role (but that of the detective, state prosecutor, judge & jury);
like pathologists, our role should be scientific- only; fire Origin- & cause.
