If I follow your reasoning, what do you do with hot stove tops? Not cook?
What if you have a wood burning stove? Go ahead and touch the top of one of those things and see if you dont get burnt.
However ... the manual will CLEARLY tell you NOT to touch the hot oven. You do .... then duh.

Um.... this isn't the same thing as voluntarily touching it and it has nothing to do with what is or is not in the manual... The exhaust is mounted right beneath the handle, and obviously people are accidentally brushing up against it when they lean into the car. Good design = avoids accidents (or it should at least strive to avoid them). I'd personally say that if multiple people are all getting burned in the same way, then that's an issue that should be identified as a desirable fix, and it would surprise me if Mini's not already working on a solution.
But... whatever man. Really. :impatient
Eventually one of two things will happen... someone at Mini will say "hey, I hear that people are accidentally hitting that hot pipe despite the warning in the manual - we should fix that in the next iteration" (likely), or someone will do something weird like a lady in a skirt will lean into the trunk, get burned, will finch away and slip on the ice, bang their head, miscarry, then will sue Mini for $16 million dollars (unlikely - but weirder things have happened, believe me) and THEN it will get fixed via mandatory recall, driving up everyone's cost.
