    Do you think McDonald’s shouldn’t write “careful, hot” on hot products, even if it’s not literally boiling and you wish it to be boiling?

        Well, if you know the original McDonald’s hot coffee story, it started exactly because McDonald’s meant boiling, while the customers expected merely hot.
        That’s why precision of the language is important, ans that’s why it’s wrong to expect the company to use your imprecise definition of the word, that’s how you get third degree burns from a cap of coffee.
