That may be true, but however what you cannot account for is what potential affect (possible failure) may occur from overheating the steel. Stress cracks, temper loss, etc. Especially if rapidly cooling the knife between passes on the grinder, i.e. dipping in water using steels not designed to handle this stress. Extreme care must be taken with heat treated pieces when power grinding.

An aluminium profile standing in water does great at not-too-quick cooling of steel. And anyway we're talking about temps you feel with your fingers. If you overheat that much you will have some healing to do...
