Much ado about nothing, on all sides. Take the arcane cat fights elsewhere
and save us all the space and time for more important matters.

It's journalists like us who despair of readers like you who
don't read
carefully. Note that I made no claim of my credentials, scientific
or
otherwise.
What I wrote was that "according to them [Road & Track],
antifreeze doesn't
raise the boiling point."
Which is a reasonable
interpretation, given that the definition noted that
antifreeze in coolant did
lower the freezing point of the coolant.

I wonder sometimes about the journalistic excellence of
some car magazine
writers....maybe there is a semantic difference to be
claimed?
(sorry for the long URL, but a quick google of "antifreeze boiling
point"
will reveal that indeed (regardless of whatever scientific credentials
claimed by journalists) antifreeze does indeed elevate the boiling point.)
