That seems like a silly statement. Merely stating that spec sheets 
don't match data sheets says nothing about the point being made. 
Compare apples with apples. Don't yack about marketing staff not 
agreeing with engineering staff.

Hmmm. I'm no rocket scientist but it would seem to me that if the 
thermal conductivity paste was working, that the heat would be 
transferred away from the processor, and perhaps to the outer shell 
of the computer???

If the outer shell of the computer is hot, then that heat is not 
inside the computer. If the outside is cool, then the heat is not 
being transferred from the processor to the shell.

Yes, heat is power and power is battery, but unless you know the 
total heat output (and not just how hot the case might happen to be), 
you have no real clue as to the power consumption.
