Right!

Yes. Used them all, at various times.  Ever heard or tried original
thinking about WHAT those things revealed?

Maybe it cools YOUR hot head.  I put my HAND against it and the mica
was definitely colder than the air.

If you don't believe your senseless evidence, try a thermometer.

As to my questions being "stupid', they were deliberately simplified
