I mean it isn't technically wrong...

Sometimes you need to know how much current is guaranteed to vaporize a bit of wire - for example if you are designing a fusible link.

While this is true - it's the reason why fusing current was measured in the first place - it is not a reasonable way to answer a question asking for "max amps".
