EGT limit on start

A collegue of mine asked me the other day why the EGT was limited on start to a lower temp than max or max continuous. As an ex a/c eng i said it was due to the fact that the internal air cooling of the turbine blades was not up and running at start up, hence the lower temp. Was this the right reply?
