That one doesn't bother me quite as much, just because it relies on some finer numbers regarding the structural properties of materials, that people won't realistically have day-to-day experience with. They have to trust sources, which I do understand people sometimes being reluctant to do for whatever reason.

The concept of heat accumulation in an enclosed space is something everyone has experienced, though. If they have cooked, or gotten into a car in the summer, or any other manner of experiences, they should realize how it works with just a minute or less of thinking. If you contain heat, say, inside of a building, it can build up. Simple as that. Very intuitive, can be fully understood by even a small child. These folks would understand it too, if they just thought about it for a second instead of just believing randos on the internet who are appealing to their feelings.

Im sure most people have experience with plastic becoming bendy before it melts. It's not hard to translate that to metal.

Yeah, okay I'll grant that.
