dmb, Are you an either/or - black/white thinker, because I recognize a whole lot of shades of gray in-between those extremes. Unless you want to define cold as below freezing and hot above freezing, which might contradict experience, I don't think your example works.
I think the term is relative as in "relatively pure".
