If anyone wants an education in why "slowly burning the explosive" isn't as mad an approach to disarming a bomb as it sounds, please do see the incredibly well informed responses I was rewarded with when I raised a quizzical eye to the technique in my post below.
Unfortunately the best replies were usurped by a telling off from someone who comically misread my tenor, and now the whole thread has been moved from top straight to bottom, presumably as the victim of some anti-controversy algorithm. I know it's not the done thing to comment on such matters, but there's some really great posts in there that people put a lot of effort into, and now they're buried, which, dang, is a shame.
