Many pilots love myths and quickly adopt them as facts. Shock cooling myths endure the longest. Makes you wonder why flying through rain does not cause immediate cracking of cylinders due uneven cooling. After all, rain and slipstream chill factor really lowers the water temperature hitting the cylinders which in turn results in uneven surface cooling at a rapid rate yet we don't have piston engine singles and twins falling out of the sky.
