I believe Muir's hatred of the choke is related to the fact that he 
lived in a climate that probably never needed one.  I don't find it 
at all offensive and it is important to understand that the carb 
automatically disables it once you give the engine more than just a 
tad of throttle.  So in normal driving it is doing nothing.  It comes 
into play when starting and at idle, when it is extremely useful in 
cold weather.
