Who is someone everyone thought was crazy but turned out to be right?

No new information came out though.
If someone hands you a paper cup full of boiling liquid, you cannot hold it between your knees in a moving car.
That is still foolish and unsafe, nothing has changed. No amount in fines can alleviate the personal responsibility of being handed a hot liquid in a paper cup, (a very common occurrence that millions of American adults accomplish without issue daily, because they don’t squish it between their knees in the car, they don’t try to balance it on their head, they don’t try to spin it on their finger like a basketball, because they understand the properties of matter.)
Now every restaurant just has to put an idiot warning that says “don’t dump this on yourself, it is hot” on everything hot.
Okay, you contradicted your self immediately by repeating disproven misinformation.
The car was not moving. It was parked and she was in the passenger seat.
And it’s worth pointing out that people spill coffee on themselves all the time without getting 3rd degree burns. Coffee is not supposed to be served “boiling” and this particular McDonald’s had been warned that they were serving coffee too hot before.
You should really look into the case more. I used to feel the same way as you, but there’s a lot of information out there that changed my mind.
You cannot hold a cup of boiling liquid between your legs, on your head, balanced precariously on the armrest, how are you not comprehending the handling of hot liquid?
Are you incapable of boiling water and making pasta yourself because you might hold the boiling water in a paper cup between your knees? Of course not. You are being intentionally obtuse.
Adults understand the properties of matter, if that coffee had been 130°, 150°, 170°, she still would have been burnt and sued them, but the temperature is irrelevant you can’t hold hot coffee like that.
I recommend watching the documentary.
