Counterpoint: The temperature of boiling water changes based on environmental pressure.

Some crop species tolerate saltwater, so why not use it to irrigate them?

Pressing the clutch pedal in with your left foot, while simultaneously moving a gear lever with your right/left hand is the only description of a manual transmission that I will accept.
