Of course I admit that an engine at, e.g. cruise settings, will generate less heat than an engine at full power.
What I mean by logic is taking the skeleton of an argument against one kind of engine modeling proposal, and applying it to another. I'm talking about the high degree of emphasis placed on consequences to the game from modeling greater realism in anything. In this case, a virtual pilot who did not throttle back after using WEP (if he had the opportunity) would be at a disadvantage when he needed to use it again 2 minutes later vs. someone in similar circumstances who did throttle back. More WEP, more advantage. This point follows by definition from what has been proposed.
Let's not let the subtleties of thermodynamics get in the way of dogfighting.----------------------
I think HT called it selective realism.
It's not a coding mistake. It is how it is intentionally. Realize what a startling proposition it is that HT left out mixture, manual supercharger stages, radiator flaps and other things
intentionally, but left out thermodynamics by
accident.

Now, go and convince him that I'm wrong so I can fiddle with the engine during combat.
