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

Dude. I can explain "boiling" to you. Don't listen to Mikey. He doesn't know shit about cooking.

From The Art and Sophistry of Cooking by Alonso Ximenez, p.845, translated from his native Portuguese...

The myth of "boiling", perpetuated by the French, is a culinary burden akin to the historic Dance of the 1000 Infantile Carp performed twice yearly at Guimarães to commemorate the Battle of São Mamede; a useless and barbaric custom.

Accurate water temperature measurements should be taken no nu, in a process known as the technique de sachet à thé, a French term undoubtedly but a technique certainly stolen by them, as is their want and predilection, during the 14th century. Obviously, women performing this measurement must use a surrogate.
