If I understand correctly, they didn't boil anyone alive in like a big cauldron, but they did pour boiling water on people as a method of torture, so thats the first step in the game of telephone that got transformed into "boiling people."
That makes sense. Thanks for your contribution. If anyone knows where to look for secondary sources of the time, or primary like diaries, that'd be helpful to figure out what exactly did happen.
I'm basing most of what I wrote off of what I learned during and after my membership of a Gonzaloist organisation, the leader of which told me that the PCP did not boil children, and I took that to mean they did to the adults, but that doesn't really make sense. Impractical. More practical for torture.
That's why I've always dismissed it out of hand. A bigass cauldron kept boiling to throw people in? That's so much work, fuel, and time. Any participant who isn't truly a sadist with a very specific desire to watch people boil would lose motivation before even having a chance to do it

For every comically oversized spoon, a comically oversized stock pot
