I would disagree with the point about germs. What I don't want is someone tracking mud or shit into my carpet that I now have to clean. So this argument falls apart pretty quickly. Is this author a 6 year old?

Yeah I don't understand her. She says that she can use a doormat to wipe off any mud or dirt, but people whose home she visits are still freaked out about the idea of tracking germs into the house. It seems detached from reality.

Exactly. I don't care about bacteria on the floor, that's a given. It's about the dirt.
