No it's more like the physicist tried to use boiling water to measure it

Using boiling water is still fine, the measurement will work, your comment literally only is a problem if they don’t measure in time. So yes, it’s exactly like sticking it in an oven and not measuring at the same time

Fair, if you do account for the change in water volume over time then you could maintain accuracy, but also good luck reading the meniscus.
