@Cycloptichorn,
To put it as simply as possible, the environment around the kitchen range is a corrupted area, temperature wise, relative to reading and controlling house temperature in the general living area of your house, such as your living room or family room, or even in the dining room away from the range. And the corruption is not straight line in terms of degree of corruption with time, got that? You are probably scratching your head wondering why it is corrupted, ha ha? Have you ever heard of the concept of burners emitting heat? Yes, cyclops, that is how things are cooked. Have you ever done anything in the kitchen with your range, such as when you heat water for tea, coffee, whatever, and perhaps fry some eggs or pancakes on a griddle? How about baking some pies occasionally, or have you never heard of this sort of thing?
My grandson at age 6 has more cognitive ability than you guys seem to have. I am compelled to ask, is this discussion and your questions a joke, or are you actually serious? Do you really not get it?
