Well, if you have a legitimate failure you'd probably pop either fuse.
Sizing fuses on equipment can be more tricky than it might seem. You want to provide protection, but you also don't want nuisance openings during turn-on either. It's an iterative process, somewhat.
Cross-posting into another area so you could needle Duster is funny.

If I recommended a fuse 2.5 times what the designer calculated for I would have been nail to a cross. I can tell you that!

No, but you probably would have been questioned about it. :)
I'm not sure why you're twisted up about this. I quit taking Duster seriously years ago.Dave.

Fast Blow fuse, use 2x current draw. Slow Blow fuse, use 1.25 times the current draw. Fuses can operate up to 1.5x the fuse current rating for up to 20 minutes.
Personally, I use Slow blow at as close to current draw as possible with capacitor input power supplies. Choke input power supplies not having a high input charging surge, I use Fast Blow at as close to current rating as possible. Never had a fuse fail.
Probably maybe but not definitely.
