p.s. although I actually do have these arguments when trying to cook. No one has ever really adequately explained what constitutes "boiling".

hmm... does the amazing cholorine in the Maynard tap water make it boil hotter or cooler?

'stuff' dissolved in water (whether chlorine from chlorination or chlorine and sodium ions from table salt) raises its boiling point.

I think Tom would prefer cooking with distilled water, and he would also like to use pipettes for more exact measurement.
