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.
