. . . But what about the original question? Is the ability
to superheat water (for example) entirely related to
one's ability to prepare both the water and the vessel?
Imagine, if you will, "ideal" water in an "ideal" vessel
(that is, no nucleation sites, and other things, like
pressure, equal). Would it superheat indefinitely? Or
would convection or other gradients eventually trump
the absence of nucleation sites?
