That metaphor is based on a false premise[1]:

> While some 19th-century experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true if the heating is sufficiently gradual, according to contemporary biologists the premise is false: a frog that is gradually heated will jump out. Indeed, thermoregulation by changing location is a fundamentally necessary survival strategy for frogs and other ectotherms.

I no longer trust my software.

I don't know why I get downvoted for this when I wrote it based on the reality of the situation.

I guess some people just feel guilty/ashamed!
