Is it true that a frog sitting in slowly heated water does not try to escape and is boiled alive?

No. A Skeptics Stack Exchange answer directly denies the claim, stating frogs do not stay in slowly heated water until dead and calling the boiling-frog story a legend. Two other sources merely repeat the trope as a metaphor without evidence.
