OK, I believe that this is "possible". It's just very unlikely -- at
least in my situation for several reasons. I am boiling a lot of water
(3-4 cups).

As I noted previously, my situation involved 24 oz.

I have one of
those turntables so maybe the turning causes a little jiggling which
kicks off the nucleation.

The microwave that exploded my water also had a turntable and I had used it
w/o incident several times before under similar conditions to "boil" water
for tea.

It was just one of those things that falls under "right time + right place =
shit happens." Since it happened to me, and it's happened to others as you
read on the .gov link I posted, it *could* happen to you, also. I'm just
here to tell you. Also, please note that you aren't limited to adding sugar
or instant coffee to avoid exploding water - it can be anything that's
microwave-safe such as one of those plastic stir-sticks that fast-food
places provide for coffee or a wooden spoon or stick.

'Nuf said. I've done my part.
