One Boeing instructor told me that if you cannot hold your hand on the brake assemblies without burning yourself, then by definition the brakes are hot
I would never touch a brake after a landing, you're likely to suffer extreme burns. Sorry but I've never heard anything so ridiculous in 20+ years.
