I'm inclined to agree. I log the fluid temp all the time and it never gets out of hand, nor is the delta particularly concerning. I've had my 6AT come out of gear during a single 3-4 shift in the dead of winter (IE ambient temps in the 30s, fluid temps well below 200).
Heat contributes but it's a combo platter of line pressure and too much load for the hard parts (with existing software limitations).
