I am admittedly talking about electrical soldering, which the person quoted was also referring to, but there are different kinds.

You would need to set your solder gun to about (edit 750, not 1100) degrees Fahrenheit to begin truly vaporizing the lead. Which, some soldering irons are capable of, but lead solder’s lower melting point of about 400 degrees makes the risk low.
