As in the case of obscenity, the strict definition of thermal runaway rests with the person evaluating it. Also, like Justice Stewart, Mike Sinnett shared that by their definition of thermal runaway, "….this was not that." I don't believe either Justice Stewart or Mike Sinnett ruled out the possibility that others may disagree with them. <br /><br />That's the problem with subjective definitions. If I stated "This suitcase is not heavy!" people could disagree with me, but that doesn't mean I am wrong in my description.<br /><br />Interesting post. Lots of great stuff to think about here.
