Oven VS cooktop, and the subtle difference between them

This person was arguing with multiple people about how electric is superior to gas. In an effort to prove me wrong about how electric cooktops work, they posted a wiring diagram for an oven thermostat.
Update : after their snarky reply, I looked closer at the manual they posted, and it's for a stove with gas burners. So even if they were right, that component wouldn't exist on that particular appliance. It would indeed produce a steady heat though.
Nobody is even addressing the green flames?
Just... Wow.
That is an impressive amount of completely misunderstanding how stoves work.
Said that a gas cooktop continues to cook food after the flame is shut off. You know... the flame? The source of the heat on a gas stove?
And then he claimed professional chefs prefer electric?
To quote Billy Madison: "...what [he] just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in [his] rambling, incoherent response [was he] even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award [him] no points, and may God have mercy on [his] soul."
He must be confusing the residual heat on the cookware with the heating from the stove.
He also thinks that residual grease on a pan will insulate the pan and prevent it from getting as hot.
Not to mention he doesn't know the difference between gas heat and gas for cooking.
It gets even better, I just realised this, but the manual he posted was for a stove with gas burners and an electric oven.
So even if things did work the way he claims, that component wouldn't exist on this particular appliance.
If you look at the guy's posting history, you'll see that he's extremely confident - and also completely wrong - about many things.
Yeah, that's pretty spectacular actually. They really need a better hobby than arguing with strangers on the Internet.
