If the analogy is apt, then they are doomed to fail at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog "...according to modern biologists the premise is false: a frog that is gradually heated will jump out. Changing location is a natural thermoregulation strategy for frogs and other ectotherms, and is necessary for survival in the wild." i.e. the sun tries to gradually heat frogs nearly every day, and the ones that don't know to hop to somewhere cooler when it gets too hot, died off long ago. Now, whether or not the metaphor _is_ apt in this case, that I cannot say.
