Well hell, I don't know, throw it in the oven anyway. See what happens.
I'm just saying, that rather than trying to deny that there are magical forces at work here - which is easy for me to deny too you know, I'm a hick but I'm also a doctor - just try and look at it from the perspective that what everyone is saying is true. And then see if you can try to make sense of it. Instead of trying to come up with any other solution - work with the one you been given and go from there. You might disprove it all, you never know.
