I've refused plenty of aircraft for other reasons, (mostly inop LAV's on full fights), but am very curious why this is such a hot-button item for others.

I can see why the FO disagreed with the Capt and IRO on the Amazon 767 flight, (and I do not question his right to do so), but I'd be very interested in finding out why its deemed a no-go item on other domestic flights?
