so the only
conclusion I can make is that the sensation I felt, I did not feel.

Let's see, if one were to take a cubic inch block of dry air-chilled
sodium straight out of the fridge and dump it into a bath tub with 4
orders of more magnitude volume of water, no heat should be possible
because of the massive heat sink of that water at room temperature and
that same cold block of material. The same could be said of
Phosphorous going in the reverse direction.

No bang would be heard, if you weren't there to hear it.

You willing to witness this test (sodium or phosphorous) to confirm
the supposition? Take a bigger bite of an apple size Chipotle and
report about the absence of blistering instead.

Better yet, can you prove that the jalapenos don't lead to CNS tumors.
Are you willing to accept the responsibility for your stand that they
don't.
