So, a stream of moving water that's at a bit lower than 100oC turns to ice instantly, but the blood in his bare hands that's at 37oC doesn't?
hmmm....

I can stick a thermometer into a pool of liquid nitrogen at -170oC and pull it out in less than a second, and it still won't have dropped to -0oC. For that matter, it's quite easy to put your hand in there, so log as you pull it straight back out again That's more time than that boiling water has been in the air for
