But ultimately, you have no choice. Even the ideal smoke detector that you have in mind is going to be a dumb electronic device that has to make a judgement for you.

It'll have some sort of threshold before the loud alarm goes off. I'm not suggesting that be changed.

What I'm suggesting is that, in addition to that, at an even more sensitive threshold, there be a quieter alarm, too.
