Boat tailed bullets

I have seen way too many BT bullets squirt out of the jacket when dressing out game. IMHO they belong on the range but never use for hunting. Hunters like hound dog men see something new and pretty and they go head over heels for it not knowing it will cost them in the long run.

I love boat tailed bullets for their flight characteristics but...
Can someone help me to understand why, due to their shape, that they don't excellerate throat erosion. It would seem to me that flat based bullets would seal better and boat tailed ones would cause a "blow torch" effect upon firing. Someone please help me to see how this is not true. This is not a joke.
