Hopefully human lives or enquiries into human deaths are considered important enough to produce research like this and ensure it is true.

If so then it appears that temperature monitors are incapable of dealing with heat calibration if the materials used are unfit for human habitation. Unfortunately you posted this discussion to people with ties to certain irredeemable mind-sets.

The ability to think something through is not given away in examination results nor even scientific papers. Speaking from the outside, all you get in a good education is unrefuted facts you can put on paper and wave to the crowd.
