The point isn't that the Semblances defy science already. I am fully aware of that. Humans shouldn't be able to do these things.

The point is that when a Semblance is stated as capable of doing ONE thing, it's abilities from there are consistent. Nothing should be capable of causing just one very specific liquid to boil. If you're causing a liquid to boil, ANY liquid, you're heating it up to the point where the consisting molecules are moving around so fast that it visually disrupts the water, and causes the molecules to break apart into gases. That's ANY. LIQUID. So if something can cause blood to boil, what it's doing is heating up the liquid part of the blood. In which case, the effect should apply to any liquid.

Arguing that "it's Semblance-magic, it isn't supposed to make sense" is invalid, because regardless of whether the existence of the power defies logic, the power itself must FOLLOW logic.
