There's no need to be defensive; I am closer to backing your claim than assailing it. Relax a little ;) cn
Im not being defensive, just agreeing with you. I never said to anybody that it would cause healthy, green plant matter to burst into flames, just simply cause a small sunburn spot. However, on dead, dried out plants, magnified sun can spark a fire.. just like sparking dead leaves with a magnifying glass.

3. Overhead watering on a sunny day can scorch leavesThere are good reasons to avoid watering your garden on a sunny afternoon, but causing scorched leaves isn't one of them. The myth that water droplets act like tiny magnifying glasses and burn plant leaves has no basis in fact, and anyone who has watched the sun come out after a summer shower knows that the water quickly evaporates. Leaf damage can be caused by all sorts of things: too much or too little soil moisture, fertilizer burn from improperly diluted synthetic fertilizer, insect or disease problems, and weather conditions, such as wind or frost, to name a few.
Try to avoid watering on sunny afternoons to minimize the amount of moisture lost to evaporation, but don't worry about leaf scorch.



Fuck those "scientists", these people are talking common sense http://www.gardeners.com/Top-Watering-Myths/7688,default,pg.html
