oh right yeah. because they don't matter anymore, in actual psychological scientific experiments (I mention psychology because they're is literally nothing else they could be testing...it's not the GUN that they're testing, the babble on the intercoms say stuff like "This following test was designed to see how test subjects react to intense puzzle-solving conditions blah blah blah") you aren't actually SUPPOSED to use the same volunteer super often because actual participation in your study can shape how they react to participated in another one of your studies thus tainting the results. Unless of course the next study is about the effect being a part of your previous study has and you have a control group who HASN'T been in that previous study (which is a stupid enough idea to believe aperture to want to do but there's no evidence in the games that they do that) but there's no value to that kind of experiment and it's impossible for glados to try...they certainly DON'T have a control of people who haven't been tested on. So that's my opinion on that.

As for burning the robots? I couldn't tell you but I'll admit you stumped me on that. I assume the incinerators are notable hotter than 4000 degrees kelvin because otherwise that's just actively getting in the way of the basic plot.
