Thanks! Do you have a better idea? Either another example or a better way to tell it so it becomes true? I guess I could start somewhere closer to 0°K, but that wouldn't mean much I guess?

Better pick an example that doesn't involve phase change. ;) Maybe it is more like water spilling over the top of an earthen dam. It only takes incrementally more water to happen, but is very bad for the structure of the dam and things downstream.

I think your point was very well made, but to satisfy the people who comment on the energies required for phase change etc., you could just change it to very small temperature delta/difference, and be perfectly fine.
