    “I think” applies to the reason for an evolutionary trait. They’ve presented that trait as fact.

        Room temperature water because I chug a pint at a time and get on with my day. My bean water? Also room temperature, but because it’s the temperature that takes the least amount of work across preparation, storage, and consumption.

  I believe some eastern cultures prefer hot water for exactly that reason
