“I asked him where he got this distinction from, and he said its obvious, and that if it ws the same temperature, as that f scalding baby’s belly this had to be peshat”

If you’re already operating under the assumption that it’s 110 degrees, then yes I could understand why someone would say that this understanding is “obvious,” because it’s almost the only way that it makes sense. However, if one were just learning it raw, I don’t see how that’s so pashut.

I’m not an expert on the lashon, and we’re talking in translation here, but is it definitely so pashut that “scalding a babies belly” would require a lower temperature than causing an adult hand to retract?
