no, i was offering my conjecture to the point.

see, the difference between this topic and those i proof-nazi is that there really is not way to do anything BUT conjecture. We don't know the exact process by which the bodies are vaporized, and nothing exists to tell us.

Hence my guess that it would be painful

but now that i think a bit more, knowing that nerves can be so overloaded by pain that they temporarily shut down, it is possible that the process is so quick (it appears instantaneous to the naked eye) that the nerves have no time to send signals to the brain, thus making it a painless death
