Shock cooling is only one side of the issue.

The subject is better described as thermal shock which will cover the expansion / shrinkage of metals as temperatures change.

For damage to occur during the cooling process you had to increase the temperature first, a byproduct of power.

Therefore common sense dictates thinking before using throttle movements.
