>That example exactly demonstrates why it's better to have a higher temperature thermostat.
your argument makes no sense. The engine temperature will still get to 195, it will just take longer to get there and since it took longer to get there will have a lower peak temp, or if it's a really long pull will have the exact same peak temp.
Your argument implies that a 180 stat will end up with a higher peak temperature which is impossible
I've run both 195 and 180 and have tested the behavior so I know this is true.
