That's always a possibility, but it's also a cop-out.

This fact doesn't match my theory? W/e, I'll just throw it out.

Besides, the kinds of discussions that happens in places like this depends on extrapolating on small details.

The logic seems to hold up to me. Does the theory presented above seem faulty to you?

No. If we want to actually explain something that looks like it's just bizarre, it seems a decent theory. But I don't want to spend too much time explaining why the side of the plate farther from the heat source is warmer, especially from the canon, which I think is less well-planned than HPMOR.

I don't feel that your metaphor applies, but okay. Plenty of other things to devote time and energy to.
