what is the basis for this statement ?
while I am sympathetic of this view, I know of NO reason why it is true - and plenty why it is not
yes, the 3 observations are valid
my old site is down, ???

Water has a high specific heat index. This means that water can absorb a lot of heat before it begins to get hot. Inversely does this mean that a lot of energy needs to be removed from the water before it begins to cool off?
Can't give a difinitive reason for my thinking this way and I wish I had a more clear understanding of it.
