The variables involved in driving are not reliable. Even if you’re the safest driver you can still be involved in an accident. The same cannot be said about repeatedly boiling water in the same vessel for years, like the person you are responding to. They are not lucky in the same way drivers are to avoid accidents.
They’d not experience this situation as, like another commenter stated, even a pyrex glass has nucleation sites for boiling
If they’ve double-microwaved the water then they have a chance at superheating, but that is not the same situation as just microwaving water in a pyrex cup, the thing that was being called extremely dangerous
But sure, well just keep being scared of doing it at all because some people can’t remember that they already heated something
That’s called selection bias btw.
No one in my family has died in a car crash going back to their invention. Doesn’t mean anything.

No, it’s called experience with the device and situation at hand
I’m not claiming superheating doesn’t exist, I’m pointing out that the top level claim of “this is super dangerous” is fucking bunk
The people who’ve been burnt by super heated water also have experience with the device and situation at hand.
