    Now the problem mentioned at the beginning would make it worth to apply a group of specialists and research budget to solve this problem in detail… or maybe use them for slightly more pressing problems. ;)

I have no doubt that the problem is complex and that it might take a lot of resource to solve.

My comment was from the consumer's viewpoint that it's not that helpful to know that kale might explode in the microwave but not know when. The only solution to be safe is not to microwave it.

As a current analogy, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is apparently catching fire and exploding in some cases. It's not really that helpful for people to know that their Note 7 might explode but not know if it will for sure or when. The only solution is to not use any of them, regardless if that particular one may not explode. It's too much of a chance to take. From the scientist's point of view, I have no doubt that it's an interesting and complex problem. It just doesn't solve the consumer's issue.
