That is exactly right. If you try to lite a vampire on fire... he'd simply outrun you... so you'd never catch him to put him on fire. Even is by some miracle that you do,... the vampires supposedly would run so fast... that they'd outrun the fire. That part never has made much sense to me. But it I what Meyer claims. She also said that a vampire could jump so high.... that the oxygen would be so weak...that the fire would go out. Yes, I remember Edward and Seth gathering dry sticks and pine needles. But trust me... pine needles don't always burn all that well. But something that happen in the stores don't always coordinate so well with the rest of the story. Perhaps the needles and sticks would aid in the burning... or perhaps they'd help disguise the body burning there...if some human saw the smoke and happened by. I really don't know. Meyer constantly does one thing and then the opposite.
