Do you want to admit now that you are wrong or keep arguing? :-)


Well if someone, somewhere, says something on the web then it *must* be
true :-) Actually the web page you cite is a good one and I recommend
folks read it. I never claimed that temperature effects don't exist.
Only that the "high to low, look out below" phrase in piloting texts
generally refers to pressure effects, not temperature effects. That's
the only sense in which I disagree with the cited article.

I still disagree with "generally." During my search I found at least as
many that referred to both temperature and pressure as I did that
referred to pressure alone. And since the mnemonic DOES in fact apply
equally well to both parameters, then I believe that the books that
reference pressure changes only are seriously in error.
