Flat Cold plate for TEC not optimal?

It was said by someone in another thread:

Quote:
P.s. Flatness of cold plates is one of the reasons why ther are not performning as well as they could
I asked for an explaination but because of previous bickering he declined. For the last 4 years of design and construction I have always been under the impression that a TEC was fairly flat on both sides. I was also under the impression that to get the optimal performance of the cold plate the flatter the better because it will give more contact area between the cold plate surface and the TEC surface. Being it is highly unlikely TEC's are going to change design then this statment leaves me confused.

So, if I am incorrect in this, then what?
