The presentation talks about grey cast iron's properties and how well suited it is for brake rotor aplications. If in fact you actually read the material you would have seen that grey cast iron actually gets harder with increased temperature and is quite stable to temperatures exceeding 1300 deg C (2300 deg F), much hotter than you will ever get your brakes.
You are obviously ignorant on this subject, this post and the presentation are not for you, its so that others new to the hobby will not be swayed by your
commentary.

first of all lets be clear, my post clearly stated that rotor overheating under normal conditions was no more an issue on a resurfaced rotor than a non-resurfaced rotor as long as it remains above the minimum allowable thickness stated in the service manual. The "thin rotor" designation was yours and quite frankly it's meaningless in this discussion.

Sounds like another debate like the one on water vs. distilled water vs deionized water for the radiator.
These are high performance vehicles - if ever in doubt about the rotors used to stop your car, replace them they are cheap. In fact- I would follow this thought process on an economy car.
