correct...thats why your plan WORKS....that is...it is
VIABLE....in other words...you are NOT wrong.... said another
way...your plan to cool the roof and thus reduce attic temps
will fly like an eagle... its FLAWLESS....

to elaborate... water cooling works GREAT... your plan it
water cooling the roof... very very good.


Its just that an attic fan works better without whatever
problems are incurred by wetting the roof...that is why so few
people on planet earth, including the worlds best engineers
use the strategy.

Its workable you see.... just not practical in context with
other approaches.
