122. If there are other factors involved, yes.
Most notably, the type and severity of damage, the damage being lower in the building, etc.

Science is taking all the factors into account, not cherrypicking one.

Steel conducts heat. But not that well, as the glowing middle of that piece of steel demonstrates. All the rest of that steel is plenty hot, but only the middle is glowing. Any material that can do that isn't all that great a conductor of heat. And because steel can do that, they fireproof it.

That's science as well.
