You know a nation of people who may not be able to articulate their understanding, but definitely have a high intuitive understanding of that?

We Finns.

100C sauna and no problem sitting on wood, but happen to touch something metal and oooh-weee.

Also same thing happens the others way around when it’s - 20c outside. I don’t think there’s many people in Finland who don’t have a core memory of what cold metal tastes like in winter, because of the resulting trauma. And it doesn’t even need to be metal to stick.

Nicely explained.
