So it's a boiler even though it doesn't boil anything?

Then I claim it's a hot water heater even though it doesn't heat hot water.
Well, it wouldn't be any good if it waited for the water in the tank
to get cold before it re-heated it - so yes - it IS a "hot" water
heater. It makes cold water hot, then reheats hot water making it
hotter - so all yo :literalists" can quit kvetching now!!
