Joke or not a Joke, No body came forward to shed some light on the subject other than the lights generated by the burning margarine, namely:
The classification criteria as per NFPA 2007 is based on concrete database or is based on assumptions that may or may not be valid. Let me quote NFPA-30: 6.8.1.6* For the purposes of Section 6.8, any liquid that gels, thickens, or solidifies when heated; or whose viscosity at room temperature versus weight percent content of Class I, Class II, or Class III liquids is in the shaded portion of Figure 6.8.1.6 shall be permitted to be protected using either the criteria for a Class IIIB liquid in accordance with Figure 6.8.2(a) or Figure 6.8.2(b) or the criteria for Group A plastics in accordance with Figure 6.8.2(b), whichever is applicable. This clause is not fully compatible with NFPA-13.

And, how to define that. Movies at home, in a small theater, a multiplex, Woodstock?
