That quote is not about how the model works in general. It's saying that there's no theoretical or mathematical way to identify "the best" temperature. Which is obvious. What level of whimsy creates "the best" novel? It's subjective and noisy. It has nothing to do with a poor misunderstanding of the model. Temperature is not that hard of a concept. A strong understanding leaves you understanding that such a parameter will be kind of fluffy. That's the nature of creative processes. CSI is low temp. Twin peaks is high temp.
