Ah ok that makes more sense... 380C is still pretty toasty.

  It's 2 or 3 times what we use for "sterilization", if there's life it really loves the extreme

    That's not quite how degree-based scales work. In Kelvin we see it's about 1.5x as hot. Or if you look at distance from "comfy" (25 C) to "dead" it's about 3x as far as dead from comfy so the conclusion still works .

      I think the comparison was to 0..100C - liquid water on Earth surface. Boiling point depends on atmospheric pressure. On Venus (93 bar) melting point is about 0C [1] and it boils at 305.6C. Interestingly under pressure "water becomes less polar and behaves more like an organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol" [2].
