Default Estimating Temperature by Touch

Woody Brison wrote:

I vaguely remember an engineer mentioning an old rule of thumb
for quickly estimating temperatures on circuit boards: you put
your finger on a component, and it went something like this:

Feels cool ... 25 to 35 deg C
Neutral ... 37
Warm ... 40 to ?
Very warm ... ?
Hot ... ?
Makes a blister... ?

Very Hot .........."Sun of a Bitch Ar!"

Does anybody have the numbers that go in here?
