And another aside, this is all pretty much academic quibbling anyway,
as the original disagreement was about cavitation.


What is the temperature inside of those cavitation bubbles when they
collapse?


Which doesn't have
anything to do with water vapor at face value. It can, but it can also
be other gaseous bubbling that produces cavitation as it does in low
pressure home plumbing when water from a smaller pipe is fed into a
larger pipe.


Nozzles!
