Never said that. Physics always apply. I said:
- basic principles of heat exchangers don't fully explain general aircraft engine oil temperatures
- general aircraft engine oil temperature characteristics don't fully explain Spitfire specific oil temperatures
That means, while it is comparatively easy to estimate the heat exchange in the radiator for a given set of conditions, this is just one piece of the puzzle of oil temperature calculation.
