If the bottom of a bowl says microwave safe can one assume it's oven safe as
well.

Not necessarily.
Certain types of hard plastic bowls are marked microwave safe, and they
certainly aren't oven safe.

It's not plastic. Williams Sonoma Brasserie, it says dishwasher microwave
safe.

Bit it does NOT say oven safe. There are different forces at work here;
ovens have a potential for a much higher temperature than a microwave.
I'd not try it. Look for Pyrex or equal if you need an ovenproof item.

Only if one wants gobs of melted plastic stinking out the place.
How hot does a microwave get, or a dishwasher? I suspect a convection
oven gets much hotter than those two. Sounds to me like they're
saying it won't melt with some heat, unlike most plastics. (Or give
off toxic fumes too, I guess)

Considering your expertise in everything else, I'd say you're right on. Give it
a try and report back.

I did and it seems ok. I don't know why people thought it was plastic only a
liberal democrat would be stupid enough to put a plastic bowl in the oven.

Not enough info to say. What's it made of? What else does it say on
the bottom?
