I think hot or cold, the evidence is luke warm

The problem is it is all so indirect, based on isotope ratios in a few tiny mineral grains taken rocks that are incredibly metamorphosed to start with. Plus theoretical models that are vased on assumptions, reasonable perhaps, but still assumptions.

IMHO!
