Controversy? Sounds wacky to me, assuming you're talking about electric heaters and not propane. Last I heard water boiled off at 220F, and with antifreeze maybe 240F? I don't think it's even remotely possible unless you're using an arc-welder for a blockheater. Tank heater shuts off at a certain high temperature. If it malfunctions, it overheats and burns out (I've had many burn out). If, you have one that's actually heavy duty enough to withstand its own overheating, and boiled all the water out of the engine that it was touching - than it would have to burn out - having no physical contact with the engine once the coolant was gone - or just sit there and heat air. As for the little frost plug heaters that don't have thermostats - I've never seen one that had enough wattage to hurt anything.
