Gary,

English is not my native language, but I dare to say that the thesis "antifreeze doesn't raise the boiling point" is far from being a reasonable interpretation of the definition "antifreeze in coolant does lower the freezing point of the coolant".

It's readers like us who despair of editors like you who don't do correct deductive reasoning (tongue-in-cheek).

It's journalists like us who despair of readers like you who don't read
carefully. Note that I made no claim of my credentials, scientific or
otherwise.
What I wrote was that "according to them [Road & Track], antifreeze doesn't
raise the boiling point."
Which is a reasonable interpretation, given that the definition noted that
antifreeze in coolant did lower the freezing point of the coolant.
