Second according to pilots I have talked to, one could run at full power and not overheat. WEP and idling in the runway would cause problems.

1), just cause you haven't noticed it, doesn't mean it isn't there. Most planes run on avg around 20-25kph slower with rads full open, and don't cool no where near as well with them closed....
2) That statement is to general. Ask them to try it in a climb.... You might get away with it in fast level flight, but if you think you can just firewall the throttle and forget it, your in for a shock.
