Hey polarbear, why don't you pull out some more inane examples like the rolled steel coming out of a blast furnace and being cooled by a propane torch? Trivially true as long as you ignore the vast previous energy input, and only true until the steel cools to the temperature of the torch. What point were you trying to make by substituting a large energy input for a small one? Why are you only interested in the seemingly counterintuitive results as the steel moves towards a new equilibrium? Are you also surprised when food cools down in your oven after you reduce the thermostat from 400F to 200F?
And why do you keep attributing the ridiculous strawman to me of adding two temperatures together to get a higher temperature? You never actually quote my words except when you find a grammatical type of error.
