      And the frog could just jump out of the pot before he boils.

        Sure, every other time the water has kept getting hotter and hotter like this it ended up boiling but honestly I really trust the corporations here and I think we should just wait it out! They promised they were just going to slowly heat the water up but not bring it to a boil so I don’t see a reason not to trust them.

            I’m pointing out the metaphor is false and your argument might as well

              The metaphor is clear, and your correction has no bearing on my point whatsoever.

              Go be an annoying pedant somewhere else.

                Your metaphor is on the Wikipedia’s list of common misconceptions. No such luck for your argument.

                  Absolutely doesn’t matter in relation to my point
