Believe as you will. Personally I am inclined to believe his statement is correct.
Let's see:
"that long term heating of tissues in your head can damage those tissues"
He said "can" not "will" so the statement is true if there is even one example of this to prove that it can happen. Since "long" is a completely subjective concept an example of any duration no matter how brief or long will do. Examples could include sticking your head in an oven or furnace for a long period of time, faceplanting into the sun, cooking your head in a microwave oven, pouring molten gold or iron over your head, sticking your head in an induction furnace after pouring molten iron over it... etc, etc. I don't know about you but I'd have to conclude from some of these examples that I agree, heating of the tissues in your head can indeed damage them.

No, I didn't think you did.

When's the last time you got a burn from using a cell phone (unless you had one of those Samsungs from a few years back)?

I mean, he's making a statement that cuts across the actual medical definition. Some burns are caused by ionizing radiation, and others are not.
A burn is defined by the denaturing of proteins. This starts around 114 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 573.67 Rankine).

I'll need a well written, reviewed paper to believe that bumping the thermostat up by a few degrees is going to kill me.
