I was fire marshal for the Borough of Tremont and as such have a good bit of training from the National Fire Academy on arson investigation. Really you just need to overload a circuit a bit shy of where the breaker will kick off and let the receptacle heat up. When you have a good amount of heat built you simply kick the receptacle a time or two and VIOLA......the wires should short and start a fire! If you unplug all the devices and quickly put them as they should be then beat feet after around 30 or so minutes it should take off and appear to an investigator who isn't really looking very closely as if the cause is faulty wiring.
This is fairly common knowledge among electricians and building contractors and so it's also been leaked enough that a percentage of the general populace knows about it also.
Investigators like to blame wiring because 99% of insurance claims for this determination are paid without question and if there is no other obvious cause the claims adjuster will accept the investigator's word.
It's also easier than digging through the ashed/rubble for any alternate causes.
Just sayin'!
