In that case you're (intentionally?) misinterpreting what I originally said. The person I replied to was metaphorically suggesting turning the temperature dial on the fridge way up and I metaphorically asked why I would want to eat at his house if he's going to be serving me spoiled food. My original question could also be described as asking why I would choose to shop at a grocer where items on the shelf are routinely far past the printed expiry date. That's perhaps a more direct analogy.
