    Yeh this tracks with my never having really heard of it, but I wonder why though. It seems logical that a mass market product would have a few people that didn’t understand its limitations and you’d think if it was possible to just keep getting hotter until the cooler is overwhelmed, that that would happen more than a few times to people.
