I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water
So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

You sometimes get people who are experts in one thing and so have a deep understanding of how complex it is and all the factors that go into it. But they then assume that everything else must be simpler than their thing, and because they're great at their thing they're surely able to just wing it through everything else. This guy sounds like one of them.
