Reflecting the current poor performance in science many candidates,
some of them with top physics degrees, used to answer, somewhat
intutitively but totally incorrectly, that the temperature would fall.

I had an argument with a mechanic a long time ago; he swore blind that car
radiators could ice up even if the air temperature was above freezing due to
wind-chill effects.
