Another thought experiment:
I have two balls. One is 50C, the other is 100C. They are separated by a flat barrier that is kept at 0C. This barrier has a hole in it. The hole is not on the line between the two balls; the balls cannot "see" each other through the holes. The environment around the entire affair is at 25C (room temperature)
Let's look at the 50C ball. It radiates towards the cold, 0C barrier. It even radiates towards the hole through which it sees its 25C surroundings. But what happens to the IR waves when they get to the hole. If you go look up refraction in any physics textbook, you will find that the waves will depart the hole as if they were coming from a point radiator. The infrared will spread evenly throughout the 180 degrees available on the other side of the cold barrier. That means that IR will strike the hotter, 100C ball. You can say it was coming from the 50C ball or the 0C barrier, but in either case, it is coming from a colder object to a warmer object.
If your claims had any substance...you could show an actual experiment, and observation, and measurement demonstrating your theory....we both know that you can't...so what do you do? Resort to thought experiments. When you get those observations, and measurements, let me know...till that time, it is me who is supported by actual observation and you who believes in an untestable, unobservable, unmeasurable mathematical construct rather than reality.
