Not true. On my 182 I had an engine monitor that alerted for shock
cooling (50 degrees/minute). At the end of a climb to 10K I could get a
"shock cooling" warning by simply pushing the nose over to accelerate
from the 80IAS climb without making ANY power reduction.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
