"Decomposition" doesn't usually mean 'explodes', either. Curiously, Wikipedia still shows the old definition [1]: > Temozolomide is an imidazotetrazine derivative. It is slightly soluble in water and aqueous acids, and decomposes at 212 °C (414 °F).[15] The [15] citation from Wikipedia is to a 1982 book, untranslated from German. That may be one example of "the literature" that Derek cites. The factoid was added in this edit [2] by an Austrian Wikipedia editor who works on a lot of chemistry articles. I'd wager that the number of people who are English-German bilingual chemists with this book from 1982 on their shelf who edit Wikipedia is exactly one, and further, that he did not experimentally test or have other familiarity with the compound to sanity check the fact. This puts "the literature" in a very different context than the broad consensus of well-known, agreed-upon facts that I'd usually assume a constant value to have.
