I'm a smart aleck? Quit it? I've been around here far longer than you and I have a far better reputation.
I have a right to my opinion. Watch your words.

This not an pissing contest on about whos been around longer. You seem to claim that there is some kind of practical significance in the loop order while other people have show that for all practical purposes the differences rising from the loop order are irrelevant. Do you really believe that water temperature difference of 0.5C affects if your overclock is stable or not ? Considering it substantially smaller effect than the temperature fluctuations within the chip under load and the temperature difference at the chip is even smaller than in the water temperature difference.
I have worked as an engineer as well in the past and as an engineer one of your purposes is the get the best whole package, not only optimize some aspect of the problem and make sacrifices in the other parts of the scheme than can have larger effect than the one you are optimizing. Considering the whole problem and finding the optimal solution for the whole problem is "doing things correctly" as far as engineering goes.
With that I ofc am not implying that you have no right for your opinion - ofc you do. It's just that focusing on a small temperature differences is an scientific approach, not an engineering approach. Engineering approach is to get the best cooling capacity / for the minimum possible cost / with the minimal noise - i.e., some kind of compromise of the relevant factors.
