I'm not arguing with those factors - just the proposition that fuel doesn't cool. It does, unless you are LOP.
What if you are at peak EGT and you add fuel until the EGT is 50 degrees F rich of peak?
The thing that worries me about this whole LOP thing is the number of pilots who think that every engine can be run LOP without danger, and that LOP is the answer to all engine problems. There is too much evidence to the contrary for me to believe that.
’Evidence’ eh?

So, it follows from that 'evidence' that to avoid those dangers and problems, you run your engine ROP.

How do you know your engine is running ROP?

This is what I find perpetually hilarious about these folklore-driven discussions. Let’s assume it’s cookd clys all the way and your wings will drop off if you don’t operate ROP.
