PM-
Hi.
It’s my pleasure to try to explain how stuff works.
As far as halocha, that’s not my purvey.
There are many halocha/metzios things that I don’t understand, such as the heter for Shabbos ovens (given by a well-known gadol), why some (many? all?) people hold that an incandescent light can be used as an aish motzei Shabbos, just as a couple of f’rinstances.
I do know people who hold that shutting a burner on a piloted stove is allowed, but I don’t know if their reasoning is mistaken, or if they are relying on something I don’t know of.
