  1. Autism, personally speaking.

  2. I knew it was a metaphor, but it's also a lie and does not actually happen.

  3. That's actually the result of "looking it up", which was the instruction.

What is it with you that makes you so incapable of reasoning that someone might know what it means and also want to point out that it's bullshit?

It doesn't matter that interpreted literally, it's not what happens to frogs. That's not the point of the phrase, and certainly not the point the other commenter was making.

They were trying to talk about Microsoft's business practices, not about what happens if you were to literally start boiling a frog. Yes, we know they aren't fine with it, it's extremely well-known and completely irrelevant.
