If installed and setup correctly they will hardly ever trip (apart from
the times they do so whilst saving your life)

done this for many year and have no problem with tripping any more, do
it and save you all the bother of lights out etc.


Do so and your are a fool.

Fix the problem and not the symptom. Then when something untoward does
happen they can do their job and protect you from electrocution.
