The problem is that by that logic most burns are radiation burns. Heat is a form of radiation.

Most burns are conductive, not radiative. As in you have to be in contact with the hot surface, not just near it. Even convective heating is more likely to cause burns than radiative.

I really don't suggest doing so, but you could test this easily enough. Get a pan of water up to a hard boil on the stove, then put your hand in three different positions: an inch from the side of the pan (assuming an electric stove with a pan large enough to cover the entire burner), an inch above the surface of the boiling water, and (really don't do this) IN the boiling water. Which of those will burn your hand fastest, which will burn your hand slowest, and which will be in the middle?

The way you ask at the end might not be the best way to end that sentence. :P

No, I'm good at putting on sunscreen when I'm outside, especially in summer. I have sparkly sunscreen, because I'm extra like that.
