So, let me get this straight:
* One unit sounds a false alarm (because normal smoke detectors never ever do that)
* The rest of them relay the alarm
* He then takes a sledgehammer to the unit that generated the false alarm
* ..And because of this, he has "no trust" in the nest protect.

Yknow, downvote me if you wish, but that post just comes off as remarkably ignorant, with a side of "all that newfangled tech these days..." ludditism subtext. And the fact that he took a goddamned sledgehammer to the smoke detector is just the icing on the cake. It was stupid behavior, as is the suggestion that we take that post seriously.
Devices fail. Find a person, any person, and they'll tell you that they won't use X brand of thing because they had one unit of said thing fail on them one time. This is that fallacy, writ large, but less forgivable because this person writes for a tech blog of some note.
