I don't want to over react, but nothing could be further from the truth. One of my first jobs was with R.W.Schott Photographic Specialists, Denver, CO. Kokak tech reps often brought other photographers to tour our lab to see how it was supposed to be done. We had all the temp control systems anyone could want and we had one rule that noone violated. There could not be over one (1) degree F difference between chemicals when you finished developing film or you were FIRED, and there was zero tolerance. I was told that was because rapid changes in temperature between chemical baths caused grain to clump and, therefore, increase apparent grain. We worked with 35mm and Leicas and Bob didn't want it screwed up in the darkroom. I still don't violate that rule some 36 years later.
