Uh, yup it can, and it does, time and time again, experimentally in the lab. (Science is cool like that.)
actually it will get very close to it if you leave it in the flame long enough.

Once again, you don’t get it; Temperature is a measure of the average energy contained in the microscopic degrees of freedom of a system. i.e. the amount of energy of the molecules within the beam, if I say the beam is 700F, that means if we were to break up the beam, overall the average temp would be 700F, some would be less, some would be more., obviously the outer parts, would be colder then the inner parts, because they are farther away from the fire, and closer to the wind. The average temperature of the floor could be 700F, the inside 850F, and the out side 150F, then, with wind on the out side of the building, it would still be quite chilly. They were not in the center because it was hot; the out side was cool though.

As for the diction, I’ve said some weird things when I’m on my cell with my mother, especially if there are interferences over the line. Some times I have to say my name over and over again until she hears me. She can’t tell by my voice because it is garbled, so my full name does get the message across. This is a rare occurrence, once or twice a month, but it does happen for me. I’m not sure how great the cell reception is at altitude, this may be the reason. Have you heard the tapes, or just read the transcripts? Do you have a link to the tapes?
