   Regarding brake rotor warp (as in "potato chip"), that (almost) never   
   happens on rotors that didn't come out of the factory already warped.   
      
   Regarding temperatures, the _melting_ point is (almost) impossible to reach   
   in braking operations given the type of vehicles we're all talking about.   
      
   Regarding pad deposition, it's hard to believe, (even for me), but it takes   
   only a small amount (almost impossible to measure directly) of "bump" of   
   collected pad chemical "footprint" to build up to the point it's felt while   
   braking (usually at highway speeds).   
      
   Just as I ask all iKooks for a _single_ fact that backs up their entire   
   belief system (and they almost never can answer that simple question), I   
   ask anyone who claims their rotors warped what the measurements were.   
      
   And they don't have them.   
   Because...   
      
   Because they simply guessed.   
   Why?   
      
   Intuition is a terrible thing.
