I once heard HOT described as hot enough to boil spit.

For FIRST purposes, I have never had the outside of the motor case be that hot. It has been uncomfortable-to-touch hot but not one-touch-and-my-hand-is-burnt hot.

I revert to the smell test as the gold standard. If your motor smells like burnt motor windings, the motor got too hot.
