My small experience with being burned by hot or acidic liquid tells me exactly the opposite.

The anecdote is specific to frogs (and animals with similar sensory systems), and specific to boiling by increasing the temperature in small increments.

It's also a myth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

Interesting that early experiments involved removing the frogs brain as well.
