I do not think that you are correct.

"The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 237 W/mK, and that of tin is only 66.6 W/mK, so the thermal conductivity of aluminum foil is much better than that of tin foil. Due to its high thermal conductivity, aluminum foil is often used in cooking, for example, to wrap food to promote even heating and grilling, and to make heat sinks to facilitate rapid heat conduction and cooling."

If it rounds to zero, then perhaps 4x'ing it won't make a difference?


Well, heat capacity and thermal conductivity are not the same thing


That’s the part of the comment you took issue with? Lol.


The things that you can measure are science.

The things that you can't measure are... not.
