Some folks just have no concept of simmering..

For instance, I've seen a lot of people who seem to believe to boil potatoes, there needs to be a nuclear reaction going on under the pan..

Graduated stove controls are wasted on them and they might as well have simple "on/off" switches for each ring/burner..
