Not only that but if you were taking temps from various cars with similar brack setups then there are way too many variables in there to make it a reliable measurement. i.e. there is no experimental control.

About the only thing the IR gun will tell you is if one rotor is way hotter than another rotor. Which is useful for telling when the caliper brackets lock up on crap mustang brakes.
Wow...what do you want then? I full scientific study? No offense, but we take what results we can get from owners, and use the data in a relative method to apply to an average for all. I doubt Red is saying his results represent 99.9% of everything, but what it does represent is solid data which no one else has generated with as much accuracy as you can achieve in a field study.
