A lesson in logical reasoning
You know that cast-iron pot? The one that, not a minute ago, had the gas at its highest setting beneath it, and had had for some time? Yeah, it's probably still hot, maybe you don't want to pick it up with your bare hands.

The fact that the remaining-hot of the pot is not, as far as I can tell, a matter of logic. Perhaps you see things differently.

a posteriori? He picked the pan up with his ass?
