yet we are given to understand that 2,300 degrees are required to accomplish this very essential-to-the-propaganda feat
No one has made a claim that 2,300°F was required to weaken the steel in order to facilitate failure. At 900° steel has lost 50% of its' strength... at 1100° it has about 20% of its strength.
Please refer to the chart at this link to see how metal strength related to temperature
